New York, USA – NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force needs the public’s help identifying a man seen in a horrific viral video beating another man unconscious. 

The man in a black shirt and black pants violently smashes a man into the window of a subway car and continues to strike him as other passengers standby. The man in the white shirt attempts to fight back until the suspect applies a chokehold and hits his head onto a seat. 

Someone is heard repeatedly saying ‘stop.’

The assailant then exits the train.
