A 14-year-old male was arrested and charged with hate crime assault Tuesday, the New York Post reported.
Police told the Post that the teen and two other suspects came up to the 35-year-old victim around 7 p.m. on April 14 in the back of an apartment complex on Roosevelt Island, the Post said. Roosevelt Island is between Manhattan and Queens, and the attack took place in the 500 block of Main Street.
The 14-year-old male — who wasn't identified due to his age — kicked the victim in the head as at least one of his accomplices in the attack yelled, “You’re not going to catch me, cracker!” police told the paper.
NYPD Crime Stoppers characterized the remarks as "anti-white."
The trio then ran into the Roosevelt Avenue F train station, where surveillance video grabbed images of them, the Post said.
The other two suspects had not been caught as of Wednesday morning, the paper said.
The victim suffered some head pain but didn't require a trip to the hospital, the Post reported.
Crime Stoppers said tipsters can call 800-577-TIPS or anonymously post a tip to http://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org — and that there's a reward for up to $3,500.
