NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Police are searching for a suspect in connection with an antisemitic attack in Bay Ridge.
They are asking for the public's help to identify a man seen on surveillance images.
Investigators said he allegedly targeted a 21-year-old man outside of a Foot Locker store on Sunday morning.
