A group of teenage bigots yelled anti-LGBTQ slurs as they hurled objects at two men in Queens and repeatedly punched one of them in the face.
The two victims were walking on Broadway in Astoria when four attackers started throwing hard objects at them near 33rd St. about 7:30 p.m., cops said.
They descended on one victim, 36, and punched him repeatedly, causing his face to swell and bruise, before running off, police said.
Police believe the attackers are all in their mid teens.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
