A man made racist comments about white people before attacking another man with a box cutter at a bodega in Manhattan, the NYPD says.
The 40-year-old victim was in front of the Empire Deli at 245 Ninth Avenue in Chelsea on Friday evening when the suspect attacked.
Police said the suspect made anti-white statements to the man before he pulled out a box cutter and slashed him on his left wrist.
Surveillance video from the deli shows the suspect lunging at the victim as the victim puts his arms up.
Police say the 30-something-year-old suspect took off out of the store after the slashing.
The NYPD asks anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
