NYPD investigating 2 separate hate crimes; victims allegedly targeted over religion
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- The NYPD is investigating two separate hate crimes on Wednesday, in which victims were targeted over religion.
Police say video shows the aftermath of an antisemitic attack that happened Tuesday in Midwood, Brooklyn.
The suspect shoved a 64-year-old man to the ground at the corner of Kings Highway and Ocean Avenue and made anti-Jewish remarks.
The victim's back and hip were injured.
Police are also searching for another man who they say made anti-Muslim statements while threatening two women with a box cutter on a Q-66 bus in Woodside, Queens last Thursday.
