NEW YORK - The NYPD is investigating a quartet of hipsters for assaulting and pelting a man with Anti-Semitic remarks near Union Square.

The NYPD released surveillance video of the four young men, possibly teens or in their 20s, who are being sought for the suspected hate crime.

At around 5 pm on October 27, a 22-year-old man was walking in front of 20 East 14th Street near Union Square. The four youngsters walking behind him began throwing items at the victim, striking him in the face and back of the neck.

Cops said the attackers then began shouting Anti-Semitic remarks at the victim before running away.

The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating.
