Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday called for a State Police investigation into a possible hate crime in which an unhinged man beat a rabbi with a rock in a Brooklyn park a day earlier.

“I am sickened to learn of the vicious attack on a Hasidic Jewish man in Lincoln Terrace Park in Brooklyn,” Cuomo said. “This incident is unfortunately just the latest in a string of horrific anti-Semitic attacks happening across the state and the country — part of the cancer of division and hate that has been injected into the body politic of this nation.”

“We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish community — and any community targeted by such vile acts,” Cuomo said. “And no matter what happens we will always stay true to our values of dignity and respect for every New Yorker.”

The 64-year-old victim, Rabbi Avraham Gopin, was taking his usual stroll through the park Tuesday when a man threw a stone toward him just around 7:40 a.m, cops said. The man then punched Gopin and hit him in the face with a paving stone, which knocked out some of his teeth.

Gopin was wearing a yarmulke and the NYPD announced it was investigating the attack as a possible hate crime, officials said.

Video of the alleged attacker was released Wednesday.

The city didn’t immediately respond when asked about the State Police investigation.
