Homophobic Attacker Beats 2 Men Unconscious In Williamsburg: Cops

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN -- An attacker hurled anti-gay remarks at two men he beat into unconsciousness, police said.

The man lunged at his 29-year-old and 34-year-old victims near the corner of Metropolitan and Union avenues at about 12:55 a.m. Sunday morning, police said.

He punched the 34-year-old in the face with enough force to knock him out then grabbed the 29-year-old and threw him against a tree, also rendering him unconscious, said police.

Medics rushed the 34-year-old, who suffered a fractured shoulder, to Bellevue Hospital and the 29-year-old, with a broken finger, to Woodhull Hospital, police said.

Police released a photo of the suspect, whom they describe as a man wearing a black shirt, beige pants and black and white sneakers, later the same day.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police.
