QUEENS — Police released additional video footage of man wanted for burning 40 Hindu flags in a potential hate crime in Woodhaven on Thanksgiving.

The man burned the flags, which were in front of a home at 89th Avenue and 80th Street, at about 1:15 a.m. on Nov. 26, according to the NYPD.

The suspect was wearing a three-quarter-length jacket, baseball cap and was pulling a medium-sized travel bag.

He appears to be waddling down the street in video footage and looks over his shoulder at one point.

No one was injured during the incident and police said they are investigating it as a possible bias crime.
