A lowlife in a MAGA hat tried to kiss a woman on a Manhattan street before spewing racist comments and lighting her boots on fire — while his heartless pal filmed the hateful assault and stopped her from fleeing, cops said.
Police are searching for the two creeps who approached the 54-year-old victim on West 26th Street and 7th Avenue in Chelsea last Thursday just before 3 p.m. and launched into the disgusting attack, according to the NYPD.
A man pictured wearing a bright red MAGA hat, a navy blue jacket, and a green scarf tried to speak to the woman and leaned in to kiss her — causing her to push him away, police said.
The lowlife proceeded to hurl anti-black statements toward her as he and another man, who was holding up a smartphone tripod in a blue-striped beanie and a black jacket, tried to prevent the woman from leaving, police said.
The thug in the Pro-Trump attire then brandished a lighter and alarmingly set her boots ablaze, according to authorities.
Though the man in the beanie appeared to be holding up a camera and filming, it is not yet known if the fiends were livestreaming the hate crime.
The 54-year-old woman was ultimately able to escape and no injuries were reported.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating the incident.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website.
