PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A group of four people who assaulted employees at a Fourth Avenue laundromat are still on the loose more than a month later, police revealed Thursday.

Police released photos this week of four people who they say attacked two employees from EZ Laundromat at 530 Fourth Ave. after a dispute broke out at the business on Sep. 27.

The group got into a fight with the workers just before 8 p.m. and ended up stabbing a 19-year-old employee in the torso and assaulting a 40-year-old employee, police said. The 40-year-old had bumps and bruises to his head and body but refused medical attention. The 19-year-old was brought to Methodist Hospital, police said.
