BROOKLYN — A mustachioed man was caught on video bashing the doors of a Williamsburg church with a metal bat before warning a woman inside that he'd return, police said.

The suspect, who can be seen in video released by police Wednesday night, walked up to the Williamsburg Spanish Church at 319 Grand St., near Havemeyer Street, and began bashing its glass doors about 7:25 p.m. on Aug. 11, NYPD officials said.

"Tell Miguel I'm coming back for him!" the attacker shouted to a woman in the church, according to an NYPD spokeswoman. It wasn't immediately clear who he was referring to.

At one point, the attacker walked away, only to return moments later to strike the Seventh Day Adventist church again, the video shows.

The suspect, who can be seen wearing a mint-colored tank top and shorts, hadn't been arrested as of Thursday morning, police said.

Calls to the church seeking comment went unanswered.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
