The police are looking for a bigot who allegedly spewed out anti-LGBTQIA+ remarks and spat in the face of a woman in Midtown Manhattan last month.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force released footage of the suspect Friday who allegedly got into a dispute with the 27-year-old victim on 5th Avenue, near East 50th Street, at around 5:55 p.m. on May 31.
The suspect, described as a man in his 30s, then made a series of anti LGBTQIA+ statements before spitting in the woman’s face, according to police. The woman was not injured.
The man then fled northbound on 6th Avenue on a pedicab bicycle.
Police said the suspect was last seen wearing a navy-blue polo shirt, dark colored jeans, and black shoes.
