A Jewish man quietly walking down the street in Brooklyn Monday afternoon became the victim of a random slapping, and police are now investigating the assault as a possible hate crime.
The man was in the 100 block of Lynch Street in Williamsburg about 4:30 p.m. when the assailant allegedly - without provocation or even exchanging words - slapped him across the face.
The suspect, captured on surveillance video just before the incident, is a Black male, about 5'10" tall, with a medium build. He was last seen in a yellow shirt, black pants, black boots, a black hat and with a dark-colored backpack.
