A hate-filled brute punched a woman in the face in a Manhattan subway station over the weekend and told her he socked her because “you are Jewish,” according to police.

The stranger walked up and clobbered the 29-year-old woman inside the 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue subway station 7-train passageway around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.

The shocked victim asked her attacker why he randomly slugged her when she did nothing to provoke him and he reportedly said his reason was “you are Jewish” and ran off, police said.

The woman suffered minor injuries.

Saturday’s attack comes as Hamas and Israel continue a deadly war sparked by the terrorist group’s sneak attack on the Jewish nation, prompting fears of rising hate toward both Jews and Muslims.

How did he know? You have to go gray man when out in public.

The left has been fomenting this violence for a long time.

The article never really said if the woman was actually Jewish or not. That might have been important to know.

Said as if the hatred is the same between Muslim and Jews. I'm going to have to look at the author of this. It is clearly wrong.

Muslims are taught to hate Jews from birth, Jews are not taught to hate.

>> You have to go gray man when out in public.

Muslims don’t. Why is that?

To hell with the concept of Christians and Jews having to go “gray man” in public! Fight it.

Typical Jew-hating Democrat.

Do I care about the accuracy of the perception of a person who would hit strangers on the Subway?

Someone will know him. Someone should find him. Someonejpnk.

Do I need to look? - Oh, I guess somebody posted the pic

Let me guess. Not a hate crime?

As a typical new Yorker...did she apologize to her attacker?

Surprised the headline isn’t “Muslims fear backlash”...

Typical Jew-hating Democrat.
