typescript – cloning object

I have a super class that is the parent (Entity) for many subclass (Customer, Product, ProductCategory…)

I’m looking to clone dynamically an object that contains different sub objects in Typescript.

In example : a Customer that has different Product who has a ProductCategory

var cust:Customer  = new Customer ();

cust.name = "someName";
cust.products.push(new Product(someId1));
cust.products.push(new Product(someId2));

In order to clone the whole tree of object I created a function in Entity

public clone():any {
    var cloneObj = new this.constructor();
    for (var attribut in this) {
        if(typeof this[attribut] === "object"){
           cloneObj[attribut] = this.clone();
        } else {
           cloneObj[attribut] = this[attribut];
        }
    }
    return cloneObj;
}

The new rises the following error when it is transpiled to javascript: error TS2351: Cannot use 'new' with an expression whose type lacks a call or construct signature.

Although the script works, I would like to get rid of the transpiled error
