Cops Search For Duo Who Knocked Man Unconscious In BK Hate Crime

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — Police are asking the public's help to find a duo who attacked three men outside a Bed-Stuy laundromat earlier this year.

The unprovoked attack started when the two men started yelling anti-gay slurs toward a 49-year-old, 51-year-old and 52-year-old man outside the Myrtle Avenue laundromat around 9 p.m. on May 2, police said.

The duo then started to assault the group of three. At one point one of the two men hit the 51-year-old over the head with a blunt object, causing him to lose consciousness, police said.

The man was taken to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in serious condition, according to police.

The two other victims suffered minor injuries from the attack.

Police released surveillance video of the two suspects this week.

One of the suspects was last seen wearing a beige cap, a green shirt, gray pants and gray sneakers. The second wore a red cap, a multi-colored jacket, black pants and black and white sneakers.

Both are being sought on hate crime and assault charges, according to the release.
