Police are searching for a man they believe viciously beat two gay men in Brooklyn this weekend.
He is accused of approaching two gay men late Saturday night as they were leaving a gay bar in Williamsburg.
The attacker made anti-gay comments and then attacked, punching the 34-year-old victim in the face and throwing the 29-year-old victim against a tree. They were knocked unconscious.
The victims were taken to a hospital. One was left with a broken shoulder, and the other a broken finger.
