DOWNTOWN – Police are looking for a suspect that attacked a man on a Downtown bus while shouting a racial remark earlier this week.

Just before 10:00 am on Monday, July 30, the 29-year old male victim was riding a B25 bus down Fulton Street when the suspect approached him and punched him in the face. According to police, the attacker “made an anti-white remark” in the process.

The suspect fled the bus at the Fulton and Bond stop, heading south down Bond Street. Surveillance video of the suspect can be seen below:

Just before 11:00 am on Sunday, July 29, the suspect entered the smoke shop at 194 Logan Street and pulled a knife, police said. He grabbed $40 cash and fled, with no injuries reported as a result of the robbery.
