Cops are hunting a group of men behind an anti-white attack on Staten Island, officials said Saturday.
Seven black men called a 28-year-old man “white bread” and other insults as they threatened him on Vanderbilt Ave. and Targee St. in Fox Hills about 3 p.m. on June 19, cops said.
The group then chased after the white victim, punching and kicking him.
They struck him with a milk crate, a fluorescent light bulb, a bottle and other garbage they picked up, officials said.
The victim managed to escape his attackers, suffering only minor wounds. The NYPD’s hate crimes task force is investigating.
Images of two suspects were caught on surveillance video, cops said.
Cops are offering $2,500 reward for information on the attack. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
The hunt for the suspects comes as Long Island cops are trying to determine if a Hispanic man who was beaten unconscious on Tuesday was targeted because of his ethnicity.
Three men jumped out of a pickup truck and assaulted the man as he rode a bike down Granny Rd. in Farmingville at 12:30 a.m.
The victim, who suffered wounds to his face and scratches to his arms, filed a police report about the attack Wednesday and sought medical attention Thursday, officials said.
It was not immediately revealed if the three men lobbed racial slurs as they hurled haymakers at their victim.
The Justice Department investigated the Suffolk County Police Department following its response to the 2008 killing of an Ecuadorian immigrant. Local officials settled the probe in 2013, agreeing to enhance their investigations of hate crimes and bias attacks.
Anyone with information regarding Tuesday’s attack is urged to call the hate crimes unit at (631) 852-6323. All calls will be kept confidential.
BTW, when in the South addressing someone as “Sir” will get you a long way. No matter the person you are addressing ethnicity.
What are you smoking....I am very familiar with small rural southern black towns....welcome you are not
Or a 6-shot with a spare mag in-hand.....
Either way - a weapon may have given them pause...one "warning" shot into the apparent leader and the rest tend to back off.
And the FBI hate crime investigation is where, now?
Probably investigating the police officer who described the crime as "anti-white" to a reporter.
I would say a black man walking through a white neighborhood, I would only have to deal with the police. But I would never walk through the south side of Chicago!
You’re probably not far off on that. Obviously a white privileged type.
was the victim a registered Democrat or a decent person?
White Bread is not an insult but rather a statement of superiority of both status and intellect
That would have been great to have in the fields or when they were splitting our families up! Can you imagine pulling out a .45 and saying, “my family stays together or with me”! I can.
Your answer is revealing.
do you care to elaborate?
The ones I have been through have been. It’s all about attitude.
