NEW YORK — A group of teens threw rocks and spewed antisemitic slurs in a pair of Queens attacks, police said Sunday.
The group of at least two girls and a boy accosted their first victim, a 49-year-old man, near Caffrey and Mott avenues in Far Rockaway about 2:45 p.m. Friday, according to cops.
They threw rocks and yelled antisemitic remarks and one of the girls flashed a razor blade. A bystander intervened and chased the teens off, cops said. The victim was unhurt.
Later that day, the group struck again about five blocks away at Brookhaven Avenue and Beach 17th Street, cops said.
They yelled antisemitic remarks at a 48-year-old man about 9:30 p.m. and when the victim started arguing with them, the boy shoved him before the teens ran off.
The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating both attacks.
Police released surveillance footage of the suspects Sunday and are asking the public’s help identifying them and tracking them down.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be confidential.
