A suspect wearing an Iranian flag shirt allegedly attacked three Jewish men in New York City, screaming hateful language at them before being taken into custody, a report said.
Andrzej Wnuk, 41, of Queens, was detained Friday following the alleged incident targeting a 48-year-old, 38-year-old and 21-year-old in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, according to the New York City Police Department. He has been charged with three counts of hate crime assault.
"The incident is being investigated as a hate crime," the Williamsburg Shomrim Safety Patrol said. "Thank you to the NYPD for keeping the community safe, and to our Shomrim volunteers for their swift response and dedication."
The New York City Police Department said officers "responded to a 911 call of multiple assaults" and found three victims who complained of "pain to the face." All three males refused medical treatment, police said Tuesday morning in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Footage taken in Williamsburg showed a male suspect wearing an Iranian flag shirt being placed into the back of a police vehicle as members of the local Orthodox Jewish community looked on.
Sources told the New York Post that the three men were talking separately when Wnuk punched one in the back, one in the shoulder and the third in the head, while screaming "f---ing Jews."
Police also told the New York Daily News that the attacker yelled out bigoted remarks.
