A coronavirus panic-case slugged another woman in Midtown on Tuesday morning — because she was Asian and wasn’t wearing a face mask, law enforcement sources said.

The victim was walking on 34th Street between 5th and 6th avenues around 9:30 a.m. when the attack occurred.

“Where is your corona mask, you Asian b—h,” the suspect yelled as she punched the other woman, according to sources.

Cops are probing the case as a possible coronavirus hate crime, according to sources.

The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with a possible dislocated jaw, sources said.
