    Police are hunting for the anti-Israel protesters who whacked a Jewish leader with a tambourine and flag pole during a march on the first anniversary of Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 attack.

    The NYPD released photos of four suspects accused of taking part in Monday’s assault on Todd Richman — a co-chair of Democratic Majority for Israel — which left him bloodied.

    Viral video of the encounter shows Richman, 54, unfurling an Israeli flag as a mob of anti-Israel protesters surround him inside Union Square Park.

    “Get the f–k out of here!” a woman yells as a keffiyeh-clad protester tries to rip the flag out of his hands.

    “Get the f–k off the flag,” Richman says as he struggles with it. “Get off it.”

    Protesters then get in his face while his flag is ripped away.

    Moments later, Richman lunges for it while the unruly mob turns violent — with one tambourine-wielding woman smashing him in the head and a man hitting him in the face with a flagpole.

    A day after the attack, Richman said the rouble rousers “crossed a line.”

    “As Americans, we have the right to protest, but yesterday, on the one-year anniversary of the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, pro-Hamas agitators in New York City crossed a line,” he said in a statement.

    “Pro-Israel Americans must be able to walk freely and fearlessly through the streets of New York,” he added.

    “What happened was unacceptable, but it has only strengthened my resolve.”

    Police said the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident.

    Police are asking for anyone with information on the incident to call NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
