A 4-year-old had a gold chain snatched from around his neck in an Upper Manhattan building, police said Tuesday.

The unidentified punk targeted the tot at around 12 p.m. Saturday inside an apartment complex near West 183rd Street and Audubon Avenue in Washington Heights, cops said.

The boy, who was with his grandmother at the time, suffered a minor cut on his neck when the man yanked his chain off before fleeing.

The NYPD released a photo of the suspect Tuesday afternoon.

The value of the chain was not immediately known.
