Video shows the attack happening outside of a building just before noon, and a security guard looking on — but doing nothing to help the woman.
“F**k you. You don’t belong here,” the man allegedly shouted, according to The New York Post.
Police provided the video, which shows the victim on the ground being kicked repeatedly in what appears to be her head.
At one point after the beating, the security guards inside the building appear to shut the door right in front of the victim.
The suspect ran off and was still being sought Monday night, police said.
