A Jewish man who had a bag of dog feces hurled at his face by a bike-riding bigot predicted his attacker won’t spend a day in jail if he’s eventually arrested.
“Realistically I do know if the guy is caught, there is no chance he will be going to prison or getting something big,” the 32-year-old Hasidic father of four told The Post, railing against what he said are soft-on-crime policies enabling Big Apple criminals.
“When it comes to prosecution, that’s the biggest issue. People are not scared,” he said of a recent spate of hate attacks on Jewish victims.
“The point is if the City Council will take it seriously or if the justice system would be a little bit stronger, the chances of it happening will be less.”

The victim, who requested anonymity out of fear, just left work on June 4 in Soho when a man on a bicycle allegedly yelled “f–k you, Jew” before throwing the bag at his head and speeding away.
“He threw a bag straight at me,” the victim said in a phone interview. “It basically sideswiped my face and went into my car.”
The disgusting incident left the lifelong New Yorker shaken.
“I don’t feel comfortable coming out too late from the office,” he said.
