A teenage tourist was randomly slugged in the face as he explored Manhattan with his family on Wednesday afternoon, according to police.
The 17-year-old boy was approached by the attacker near the corner of W. 66th St. and Central Park West on the Upper West Side at around 12:30 p.m., cops said.
The attacker took off toward W. 65th St. and is still being sought.
The youth, who was visiting from Tennessee, suffered an injured nose but refused medical attention.
Police are canvassing for surveillance video to track down the assailant.
On Monday, a 54-year-old woman was a victim in a similar incident.
She was walking on Canal St. near Broadway in SoHo when a man came up and punched her in the face around 8:20 a.m., cops said.
The attack left her face bloodied.
She was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Lower Manhattan to be treated for a bruised lip.
