A 15-year-old boy has been busted for allegedly attacking two Jewish men in back-to-back incidents in Brooklyn, authorities said. 

The teen was nabbed Thursday in connection with the pair of Feb. 4 assaults in Bedford-Stuyvesant – one of which was caught on surveillance footage.

The 24-year-old victim in the footage was wearing traditional Hasidic clothing and standing on Stockton Street near Marcy Avenue around 10:30 p.m. when the teen sneaked out from between cars, ran up to him and sucker-punched him in the face, according to cops and the video.

The victim was treated at the scene.

Cops say the teen had slugged another man, 44, in the right ear about 10 minutes earlier at the corner of Myrtle and Marcy avenues, police said. 

While a police spokeswoman could not confirm the man’s background, the NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force described both incidents as “anti-Jewish hate crimes.”
