NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are looking for a man accused in an anti-Semitic attack that unfolded in Manhattan this week.

On Thursday at 2 p.m. on the corner of Broadway and West 3rd Street, a male suspect approached a 34-year-old man and grabbed his yarmulke from his head, police said.


The victim demanded his yarmulke back, to which the suspect threw it back at him and made an "anti-Semitic statement," according to cops.

The victim wasn't injured, and the suspect fled on foot.

The NYPD Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.

Police released a photo of the person they're looking for in the case.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or on the Spanish line at 1-888-57-PISTA.
