WILLIAMSBURG — A biker cursed out a driver who was stopped at a light, hit the man's face through the car's open window and forcefully snatched his sunglasses from his forehead, scratching his face, police said.

“You f--king idiot,” the woman yelled at the 22-year-old driver, who refused medical attention following the Aug. 19 incident that took place at 1:40 p.m. at the intersection of South 6th Street and Wythe Avenue, according to police.

Police didn't say if any prior altercation between the cyclist and the driver lead up to the attack.

Police released dashboard camera footage from the driver's car of the woman, who was last seen wearing a red T-shirt and riding a green bicycle. She's in her mid-20s with long black hair.

Anyone with information is asked to call NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
