    A Citi Bike-riding brute viciously beat two Orthodox Jewish boys, ages 11 and 13, playing on a Brooklyn sidewalk Sunday night in a disturbing, caught-on-video ordeal, cops and sources said.

    Now the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating whether the attack — which saw the man kicking and stomping on one of the youngsters — was an antisemitic assault, law enforcement sources told The Post.

    Several kids were playing in front of a condo building on Franklin Avenue near Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant just before 9 p.m. Sunday when a stranger stopped his bike mid-block, between two parked cars, and stormed up to the kids, according to the video, obtained by Williamsburg 365 News .

    “Get off the sidewalk,” cops say he snarled at the young crew – who were seen in the video wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish clothing.

    He shoved one kid to the ground before knocking another to the pavement and kicking and stomping on him, according to the clip.

    Both boys were “pushed” by the menace, according to the official police narrative.
