Police are on the hunt for a man who screamed 'white people are the devils' in a New York pizzeria before punching a 60-year-old in the face so hard that he needed eye surgery.

Chris Bilcik was eating and working on his laptop inside Ray's Pizza on East 138th Street in the Bronx when he was randomly assaulted on October 6.

The victim was sitting at a table near the front of the pizzeria when the perp walked in acting erratically and talking to himself.

'Look at this f**king white guy! These f**king white people think they own the world,' the man started yelling as he pointed at the victim.

Bilcik was filmed turning around and throwing his coffee on him before the man punched him in the face.

'In a split-second, he did a Mike Tyson punch to my face, right to my eye socket and to my nose,' he told NBC 4.

Surveillance cameras showed the victim running to the back of the pizzeria with blood pouring from his face.

He said no one in the pizzeria helped even as he begged them to call 911.

Bilcik said the attack left him with a fractured eye socket, burst blood vessels and a tear on his retina.

He has already undergone surgery to repair his retina and is set for another operation to repair his broken eye socket.

Police are investigating the attack as a possible hate crime.

Bilcik said the man repeatedly pointed at him and screamed at him for being white for about 30 minutes.

'You're a white boy, you're not a man,' the man said, according to Bilcik.

'He turns around and starts pointing to me. He's talking to the people at the table about how white people are the devils of the world.'

Police described the attacker as a black man with a beard, about 5-foot-10 and wearing a black baseball cap, gray sweatpants and a waist-length jacket.
