NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police are looking for a suspect who knocked a 65-year-old man to the ground and threw an unknown liquid at him in a subway station.

Police released a photo and video of the suspect on Tuesday. They ask anyone with information about the July 14 incident to call 1-800-577-TIPS.

Police say it happened during a robbery attempt when the suspect demanded money from the rider in the mezzanine area of the 205th Street and Bainbridge Avenue subway station. When the victim said he didn’t have any money, the suspect punched him in the back of the head and threw him to the ground.
