Two men hung a noose from a Queens water tower then stopped to apparently snap a picture of it with a cell phone, cops said Sunday.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.
The men hoisted the noose from a tower on top of a building on Northern Blvd. near 82nd St. in Jackson Heights, across the street from several stores and restaurants, about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, cops said.
Cops released surveillance footage of the men and asked the public’s help identifying them and tracking them down.
One of the suspects wore a black hoodie and black pants, the other a black hoodie and a burgundy vest.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
