A former winner of the Miss Israel beauty pageant was hit in the face with a sign during a pro-Palestinian protest in Times Square in March, according to police, and now the suspect is on the run.
The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. near Broadway and West 46th Street on March 30, police said Tuesday. The woman, identified by police sources as 25-year-old Noa Cochva, was walking at the popular tourist destination when an unknown man started arguing with her.
Cochva, who was crowned Miss Israel in 2021, was then hit in the face with a cardboard sign, law enforcement sources told NBC New York.
The alleged attacker ran off. Cochva refused medical attention, police said.
The beauty queen has shared pictures on her Instagram showing her serve as a medic in the IDF. She posted photos and videos of the encounter as well, captioning a video saying "4 of us Israelis went to counter a protest and were up against 5000 people. We went straight into the heart of the protest and waved the Israeli flag showing our pride. They can intimidate us, outnumber us, rip our flags out of our hands and even be violent, but they will NEVER take away our pride."
Police released an image of the man wanted in the incident.
Anyone with information in regard to the incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website.

Demonstrator can say it was self defense./S
I’m shocked, shocked I tell ya
Good to be brave but when you’re very few up against hundreds or thousands...
Your words are to the point. The only way these coordinated protests can go is to escalate.
The Arabs in Israel were trouble from the start. In 1947, the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
Fighting began with attacks by irregular bands of Palestinian Arabs attached to local units of the Arab Liberation Army composed of volunteers from Palestine and neighboring Arab countries. These groups launched their attacks against Jewish cities, settlements, and armed forces.
After Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, the fighting intensified with other Arab forces joining the Palestinian Arabs in attacking territory in the former Palestinian mandate. On the eve of May 14, the Arabs launched an air attack on Tel Aviv. The conflict has never ended with the Arabs never accepting Israel's right to rule over their land.
Under our noses, Islamic cell groups have infiltrated our nation. They have spread antisemitic propaganda through "clubs" organized on our universities. There is massive money behind this effort. That money has created evil antisemitic protests to intimidate America's support of Israel. Weak Biden is afraid to make a move against this effort for fear that he will lose the Muslim vote.
The Muslims, using the playbook of the 1960s riots, may increase the chaos with terrorist acts like the Weather Underground that organized a bombing campaign targeting government buildings and several banks.
Meanwhile, the only one who could fix this mess is tied up in an unconstitutional hush money case involving porn star, Stormy Daniels. How ridiculous! That trial could have the calculated affect of Trump losing the election. Spit!
She’s hot.
still waiting for Democrat supporting Liberal Jews to figure it out.
This ain’t coming from “rednecks” out in the country. The Jew hate in America today comes from the Left. The Squad in Congress. Hollywood. The Ivy League.....none of that is exactly MAGA country.
Barbarians at the gates...at the gates of Academia?
At least half these useful idiots think it Woodstock ‘69 time, oh how cool, let’s protest against the only Western Democracy in the Middle East and support murderers and rapist all in the name of “freeing” a failed people and encouraging then getting a failed nation state?
From the video, below.
Big dominating dude looks more like a jock than someone who spent his teenage years studying
Just sayin, I did not expect jocks admitted to Columbia
Just another university that has lost its way. The landscape is littered with them.
My neighbor has enough long arms to loan one to everyone in the neighbourhood who doesn’t.
“That’s like wearing a MAGA cap to a BLM protest. Not exactly a great idea.”
In the America I remember, you could wear a MAGA cap or a BLM cap anywhere you wanted without threat of violence
This occurred off campus on the streets of NYC. You need a student ID to get on campus so it’s likely this guy wasn’t a student at all. He definitely looked more thug than student.
Yes once upon a time it was like that but not any more. The fascist left now just tries to shut down anyone whose message they don’t approve of.
The beautiful actress Gal Gadot is Israeli, and I think she was a miss Israel.
So was Bar Rafaeli.
