Suspect sneered ‘Kanye 2024,’ shoved man in anti-Semitic Central Park attack: cops

A hateful attacker knocked a man to the ground in Central Park and spewed anti-Semitic comments before sneering, “Kanye 2024,” cops said.

The 63-year-old victim was walking in the park near the intersection of Terrace Drive and East Drive around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when a stranger hit him from behind, causing him to fall to the ground, authorities said. 

The assailant allegedly made anti-Semitic remarks and declared, “Kanye 2024” — referring to the presidential campaign aspirations of Kanye West, who has come under fire for his recent public anti-Semitic tirades. 

The suspect fled on a bicycle, authorities said.

The suspect was walking with a bicycle trailer that had a sign reading, "Hungry Disabled" attached to it.
