A pedicab driver in Midtown spit in the face of a woman he derided as a “tranny,” police said Friday.
The pedicab operator was transporting passengers on May 31, just before 6 p.m. when he made a comment outside Saks Fifth Ave. near 50th St.
“Hey, look at the tranny,” police quoted him saying.
The 27-year-old victim, who identifies as a woman, said something back, the two argued and the hack then spit in her face, police said. He then rode off, but not before she used her smartphone to record him.
The suspect is being sought by the Hate Crimes Task Force.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800)-577-TIPS.
