New York City police are on the hunt for a suspect who they say stabbed a Jewish man in the chest while making “anti-Jewish” statements on Tuesday.

Police released images and a brief video of the suspect, who remains unidentified. Authorities say the victim is a 35-year-old man who got into a dispute with the suspect after an apparently random encounter on the street. The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening, and he received care at a nearby hospital.

“At approximately 4:10 P.M., in the vicinity of Kingston Avenue and Lincoln Place, in the confines of the 77th Precinct, a 35-year-old male victim was walking when he was approached by an unidentified individual. The unidentified individual made anti-Jewish statements and then proceeded to stab the victim in the chest with a knife,” police told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“The individual was last seen fleeing the location on foot towards Sterling Place and Albany Avenue,” they added.

The incident is being investigated by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force, police say.

Footage of the incident circulating on social media shows the two men squaring off in a minutes-long dispute. The would-be victim followed the suspect after their confrontation initially broke off, at which point the suspect turned and stabbed at the victim.

“Evil, hateful, antisemitic violence must come to an end. We cannot let this hate persist in our city, and we will never back down. We are praying for this man and his family, and the NYPD Hate Crimes Division is investigating this incident as we speak.”
