A hateful suspect attacked an Asian woman and dumped Chinese food on her husband in Midtown over the weekend, cops said. 

The male assailant approached the couple — a 63-year-old woman and 60-year-old man — on West 54th Street near Broadway around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, police said.

He allegedly snarled, “Go back to China!” before pushing and punching the woman in her chest. 

Then he poured Chinese food on her husband, authorities said. 

The suspect bolted after the attack.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
