NEW YORK — A Jewish man attacked in Central Park by a suspect who screamed antisemitic slurs and “Kanye 2024″ says he’s physically fine — but troubled by the message sent by the incident.
“Unfortunately there is just a lot of hate in this world,” the man said. “It’s definitely not good.”
At about 7:40 p.m. Wednesday, the 63-year-old victim was walking in the park near Terrace Drive and East Drive — a few hundred from the park entrance at Fifth Ave. and E. 72nd St. — when the suspect ambushed him and struck him from behind.
