Bumping into woman leads to hate crime

Police are looking for two men wanted in connection with an attack on a Hispanic man on Staten Island.

Police say a 50-year-old man bumped into a female on Port Richmond Avenue in Port Richmond around 4 p.m. on July 7.

They say two men then approached the man and got into an argument.

Police say the victim was punched in the face and repeatedly kicked when he fell down.

The suspects are all described as being in their 20s and about six feet tall.

There has been a string of alleged bias attacks on Hispanics since April.

Police say another man in his 30s was also attacked a few hours later, but they are not linking the two incidents.

At this time, investigators are not labeling the July 7th incident a bias attack; however, police say the Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.

Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
