Police are searching for a man who allegedly assaulted a transgender teen in Brooklyn last month while making hateful statements about transgender people.
Authorities said Friday night that the incident occurred on January 18 in the 100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue. The 15-year-old, identified by police as a transgender woman, was standing outside the venue when the suspect approached her, punched her in the face and made “anti-transgender statements.”
The victim refused medical attention.
Anyone with information is asked to confidentially call authorities at 1-888-57-PISTA.
