A hateful career criminal hurled antisemitic comments at a Jewish couple in Times Square, then attacked and yelled racial slurs at a 16-year-old boy who intervened, police said Friday.

Suspect Vernon Stevens, 55, of Brooklyn first shouted, “F–king Jews!” at a couple in traditional Hasidic garb around 10:15 p.m. Thursday near West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, cops said, citing the teen who witnessed the incident.

The teenager, who is from Brooklyn and who did not know the couple, then got involved and yelled back at Stevens as the man harassed the couple, cops said.

That’s when the suspect shoved his fingers in the teen’s face and called the boy, “F–king Jew!” according to cops.

The teen, who was with a 15-year-old pal from Queens, reported the incident to police, and Stevens was arrested about an hour later and a block away, at West 46th Street and Seventh Avenue, police said.

Stevens was charged with aggravated harassment in the second-degree, which includes harassment as a hate crime, and harassment in the first-degree, cops said.

Police sources said Stevens has an “extensive rap sheet” that includes more than 30 prior arrests for charges such as assault, criminal trespass, petite larceny, and harassment.

Stevens’ arrest history dates back to 2004, a source said, adding that his most recent arrests were for marijuana busts in 2014 and 2013.

The incident comes after a spate of more than two dozen anti-Semitic incidents plagued the city recently.
