Josh Einiger has the details.Police are looking for the suspect in another brutal antisemitic attack in New York City, this time in Central Park.Police say the 63-year-old male victim was walking in Central Park, near the intersection of Terrace Drive and East Drive, when a man struck the victim from behind, causing him to fall to the ground.

Experts say the fact the assailant mentioned the rapper Kanye West is just more evidence of the hate-filled echo chamber on social media, fueled by West's recent avalanche of antisemitic tropes. "Cases like celebrities and sports figures who make statements, this is something that's being carried out by someone with a huge following and when that happens people copy it," said Scott Richman of the Anti-Defamation League. "People begin to think that is normal."
