NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A man went on an anti-Asian tirade and attacked a man and woman in Manhattan's Koreatown, the NYPD said Friday as the department's Hate Crime Task Force investigates.
Photos released Friday show the suspect who cops are searching for in last Tuesday's assault at 23 W. 32nd Street in the heart of Koreatown.
The two victims, both 39, were getting out of an Uber vehicle at 1:30 a.m. when their attacker stormed up and made anti-Asian remarks, police said.
He then spat at the woman and pushed the man to the ground, where he kicked him repeatedly in the leg, according to police.
Passersby intervened, causing the assailant to flee on foot.
The woman was not injured, while the man suffered minor injuries to his leg. Both refused medical attention at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
