A 22-year-old Asian American man was headbutted on Steinway Street in Astoria Tuesday night in an unprovoked bias attack, police said.

The victim was outside 34-27 Steinway St. at around 9 p.m. when he was approached by an unknown man who allegedly hurled anti-Asian statements at him and then headbutted him without provocation.

The alleged racist then fled the location, while the stunned 22-year-old suffered a chipped tooth. The victim did not require medical attention at the scene.
