Police are searching for a man who allegedly called a 13-year-old girl a "white b-tch," then splashed her in the face with an unknown liquid as she was exiting a bus in Queens. Update: A man was arrested for the incident. [More details below.]

The unprovoked attack, which is being investigated by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force, occurred Tuesday afternoon, as the teenager was getting off the Q10 bus at Lefferts Boulevard and 101st Avenue, according to police.

Police said the individual came up behind the girl, and shouted "This is for you, white b-tch," before throwing the liquid in her face. A police source told the Daily News that the liquid was believed to be a beverage, and not a noxious chemical.

The victim was then transported to Jamaica Hospital, where she was treated and released.

Following the alleged attack, the victim was able to use her cell phone to take a photo of the alleged attacker, police said. Cops have since released surveillance video of the suspect, which shows him walking down the street with what appears to be a glass bottle.

The man was last seen running down Lefferts Boulevard in the direction of 97th Avenue, police said. He's described as a bald 30-year-old man dressed in a dark colored hooded sweatshirt with a red shirt underneath, royal blue pants and tan & brown boots.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
