A San Francisco skateboarder allegedly asked a Jewish man to confirm he was Jewish before physically assaulting him, according to California prosecutors.

Officials labelled the beating a hate crime, the Sacramento Bee reported.

The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office said that Eduardo Navarro Perez accosted the victim on Haight Street, asking him if he was Jewish or Black.

When the victim said he was Jewish, Navarro Peretz beat him with a skateboard, according to a statement from the DA’s office.

While attacking him, “Navarro Perez made disparaging remarks towards Jewish people.”
