One man beat another on the head with a metal baseball bat and called him a “dirty Jew” on Staten Island, N.Y., on Monday afternoon.

Crime Stoppers, a program supported by the New York City Police Foundation, released photos and video of the alleged attacker, and is offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information about him.

The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, reported the New York Post.

It added that the 25-year-old victim was treated for a cut on the back of his head.
