A Black woman was attacked in Queens as the perpetrator threw a bottle and racial slurs at her while the victim was jogging.

Authorities say that at 12 p.m. on Aug. 17, the 37-year-old woman was jogging at the northeast corner of 53rd Place and Broadway in Woodside when an unknown white woman approached the corner. The woman, who was drinking from a glass bottle, hurled the bottle at the victim as she ran by.

The bigot reportedly yelled, “Get out of here, n—-r!” at the victim. The victim was not injured and continued to jog away as the suspect continued to yell at her. The incident is being investigated by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force.
