A thug armed with a pellet gun fired at a jogger in Central Park late Monday and is now being sought by police.

The victim, 36, told police she was jogging near midnight in the far southern end of the park, on the West Drive near West 60th Street, when a pellet hit her in the back of the head.

She turned and saw a group of five people — three men and two women — “laughing and making anti-white statements,” the police said. “The suspects then fled further into the park.”

“You white bitch,” one of the female suspects said, according to police sources. After the shooting, the suspects fled into the park, police said.

The woman reported the shooting by phone. An ambulance took the woman to Roosevelt Hospital, where she was treated for a laceration to her head.

Police on Saturday released surveillance pictures of the group. They also released a sketch of a woman they want for questioning. Everyone in the group is between 15 and 20 years old, police said.

The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is involved in the investigation because those in the group made anti-white statements, police said.
