The police are looking for two men they say asked a 70-year-old man in Queens if he was Muslim or Hindu, then beat him.
The attack, being investigated as a bias crime, happened on Saturday around 5:20 a.m. in front of 109-25 46th Avenue in Corona, the police said.
The victim was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center and treated for facial lacerations.
The police released a security video that shows the two suspects, both around 20, running from the scene. One is described as Hispanic with dark hair in a pony tail, a light blue jacket, dark pants and dark shoes; the other is described as Hispanic, with short dark hair, a dark jacket, a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and light colored sneakers.
Anyone with information about the attack is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
