Police in New Zealand searched Wednesday for a man in a “Trump 2020” T-shirt who allegedly shouted anti-Muslim remarks outside one of the mosques targeted in a March 15 Christchurch terror attack.

“He could face a disorderly behavior charge,” a police spokesperson said, The Hill reported.

According to 1 News, the incident was posted on the Muslims in Christchurch & Canterbury Facebook page along with a picture of a man wearing a black "Trump 2020" T-shirt.

"Today I went saw this guy at the front of the masjid wearing a shirt labelled Trump for New Zealand," Adrian Wright posted on the page.

"He was swearing and saying that all Muslims are terrorists and that we hate Jesus, in addition to saying that we all need to leave NZ, among other things. He was there for about 15 minutes, he also kicked and tried to damage some of the memorial items along Deans Ave in front of the masjid."

The post said police let the man go at the scene.

The Al Noor Mosque was one of two places of worship targeted during the automatic-weapon attack that left 50 people dead.

The incident came on the same day New Zealand lawmakers approved restrictions banning most semi-automatic weapons — the type of weapon used by the gunman during the attack.
