Police in New York said Saturday that they were looking into an alleged antisemitic attack this week in which the perpetrator assaulted a 63-year-old man in Central Park, yelled antisemitic slurs at him, and finished with “Kanye 2024,” a reference to rapper Kanye West, before fleeing on a bicycle.

According to the Washington Post, the incident occurred Wednesday evening while the victim was walking in Central Park when the attacker, a man in his 40s, hit him from behind, causing him to fall to the ground. In the alleged attack, the victim, who has not been identified, broke his hand and chipped a tooth.

According to the New York Police Department, he was hospitalized in stable condition.

Police said the attacker made “numerous” antisemitic remarks, including a reference to West, also known as Ye, whose antisemitic tirades in recent weeks reached new heights during an interview with right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones earlier this month, in which the disgraced rapper praised Hitler and said the Nazis “did good things.”

This came just weeks after West was barred from using several social media accounts for making anti-Semitic threats, including threatening to go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” claiming to be the target of a “Jewish underground media mafia,” and claiming that “Jewish people have owned the Black voice.”

The White House announced the formation of an inter-agency committee to combat antisemitism on Monday, responding to calls from US lawmakers and leading American Jewish organizations for a “whole-of-government approach” to the escalating phenomenon.
