The first victim, 35, was sitting outside near 155 Grand St. in SoHo at around 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday when the man walked up and asked her who is President of the United States, police said. She ignored the question and he left, according to police.
Seconds after that, the man came back and whacked her on the side of her face, cops said. He ran away right after he socked her, according to police.
Four hours later, a 29-year-old woman was walking on Park Ave. South near E. 30th St. in NoMad when she saw the same guy walk past her and then stop at a corner, according to police. Once the victim reached the corner, the guy swung the bagged object and hit her in the face, cops said.
About 25 minutes after midnight the following night, a 34-year-old woman was walking near the corner of Second Ave. and E. 60th St. on the Upper East Side when the suspect simply walked up to her bashed her on the forehead, cops said.
Police arent currently investigating the alleged senseless street attacks as hate crimes, a police spokesman told the Daily News.
