The NYPD is searching for a suspect who made anti-Mexican statements and punched a 14-year-old boy in the face on a subway in Brooklyn on Monday morning, the department said.
The suspect then sat next to one of the victim's family members and made racist statements before punching the 14-year-old in the face, giving him a laceration on the nose, the NYPD said.
