Cops are looking for a suspect who harassed a man on a Manhattan street corner earlier this month.
According to police, at 7 p.m. on Oct. 1 a 57-year-old man was standing in front of 500 West 42nd Street when an unknown man approached him, spit on his face and made an anti-sexual orientation statement. The suspect then fled the scene on foot.
