A group of Jewish men were harassed in Connecticut on Tuesday, according to the New Haven Police Department, in an unprovoked altercation in which a man accused them of committing genocide and knocked off one of their kippas.
The three men were reportedly having a conversation on the sidewalk when a man began shouting at them, calling them "baby killers" and asking if they liked genocide.
"Get out of my city," the man allegedly said. "Go back where you belong."

The man shoved aside a fourth person who attempted to intervene, threw a rolled-up newspaper at the victims, and then slapped a kippa from one of their heads to the ground.
NHPD appealed to the public on Thursday for their aid in identifying the suspect.
