The NYPD is on the hunt for two bigots wanted for targeting victims based on their religion in two separate hate crime incidents across the Big Apple.
Cops are searching for a brute wanted in an antisemitic attack on Tuesday that left a man wounded in Brooklyn.
The 64-year-old victim was approached by an unknown attacker at the intersection of Kings Highway and Ocean Avenue in Midwood around 8:15 a.m.
The antisemite spewed anti-Jewish remarks before shoving the victim to the ground and fleeing, police said.
The victim was transported to Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital in stable condition, where he was treated for back and waist injuries.
In an image released by the NYPD Wednesday night, the suspect has dark brown hair and a moustache with a moderate build. At the time of the assault, he was seen carrying a black backpack and wearing dark gray pants, a light gray polo shirt and a red baseball hat.
Cops are also asking for the public’s help in finding a bum wanted for an anti-Muslim incident in Queens last week.
That bigot is accused of threatening two young women on board a Q66 MTA bus traveling near Northern Boulevard and 51st Street in Woodside around 6 p.m. last Thursday.
He threatened to harm the women, 19 and 21, while brandishing a box cutter and hurling anti-Muslim remarks at them, according to police.
The suspect, seen in the image released by the NYPD wearing a navy tracksuit and baseball cap with a slim build, then fled the bus.
No injuries were reported, cops said.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating both the Brooklyn assault and Queens threat.
Anyone with information regarding either incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, or on X @NYPDTips.
