Police are searching for a big-mouth bigot who allegedly attacked a man after uttering at him a series of anti-Asian slurs in Brooklyn earlier this month.
According to law enforcement sources, on Friday, Aug. 2, at around 5:05 a.m., the suspect approached a 33-year-old male victim at the corner of Ocean and Foster Avenues in Flatbush, and blasted him with a verbal assault.
“Learn to speak English. Go to India, monkey face,” the suspect said.
After the word spew, the perp then punched the man in the head and arm, causing minor injuries, police sources said, adding that he refused medical attention.
The suspect did not use any weapons in the attack and fled on foot southbound on Ocean Avenue to parts unknown before officers from the 70th Precinct arrived on the scene.
No arrests have been made so far, but police released surveillance photos of the suspect on Thursday. He is described as having a light complexion, medium build, brown eyes, brown hair, a beard and a tattoo on his right calf. He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt, tan shorts, blue shoes, and a green book bag.
Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime.
Anyone with information regarding the incident can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Well that stinks. The city sprayed “Christmas”-scented perfume around the Gowanus Canal — but it’ll take a lot more than holiday cheer to neutralize the stench seeping from the notorious polluted Brooklyn waterway. During the odorous operation, which began in February and ended last month, the city Department of Environmental Protection unleashed the Yuletide and…
With poverty on the rise in New York, it’s heartbreaking to me that many of us will be unable to experience all the culture and education.

Pitch perfect? Not quite.
Brooklyn’s new pro-soccer league is postponing its first home match after finding “deficiencies” in the turf.
While installing the turf at Maimonides Park, the league and the Brooklyn Football Club (Brooklyn FC) decided the space wasn’t up to their standard, rendering the field surface unplayable.
Athletes were slated to take the field Aug. 31 against the Carolina Ascent.
Ryan Campbell, a source who works closely with the team, said Brooklyn FC will need to reschedule but doesn’t have a rematch date yet.
This is Brooklyn FC’s inaugural season. Officials announced the league earlier this year and held a ceremonial ribbon cutting at Maimonides Park, where the club will share the green with the Cyclones minor league baseball team.
Since it’s a shared field, the league would have to roll out their turf in the back corner of the baseball field before each match.
Matt Rizzetta, chairman and founding partner of North Sixth Group, majority owner and operator of the club, spoke on this partnership between the two teams earlier this year.
“We’re all pulling in the same direction to make Brooklyn a special place,” Rizzetta previously told Brooklyn Paper. “What we’re trying to do here in Brooklyn is build a transformational hub for U.S. soccer and rethink soccer clubs in an innovative way. We think Brooklyn is the perfect place to do that, right here in our backyards.”
According to Campbell, the team is looking into the issue further and is unable to comment at this time.
In a city as diverse and vibrant as New York, ensuring legislated equitable access to such experiences should be a priority.
