Five bigots are being sought for jumping a 32-year-old man on a Brooklyn street, pummeling him with their fists and pelting him with anti-gay slurs, police said.
Clad in dark clothing, the five followed the Latino victim as he left a gay and lesbian party at a bar, pouncing on him as he walked on Luquer St. in Carroll Gardens about 12:50 a.m. on March 2, police said.
The attackers, who were also Latinos, called the victim a "f----t" and punched him numerous times in the face, knocking him down and causing him to suffer a gash on the back of his head, police sources said.
The victim was treated at Lutheran Medical Center, police said. It was not immediately clear if the perpetrators, who are still at large, were known to the victim or whether the attack was done at random.
