Teens Steal Jewish Man's Hat, Demand He Says "Free Palestine"

Three teens harassed a Hasidic Jew in Midtown Manhattan, grabbing his hat and demanding that he yell, “Free Palestine!” to get back, cops said Friday.

The incident unfolded around 5 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of West 43rd Street and 12th Avenue, cops said.

The 20-year-old victim did as the teens said, but they still did not return his hat and took off on bicycles, police said.

The Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.
