The police are hoping the public can help them find two suspects wanted for assault as a hate crime for an incident in Queens.
According to the NYPD, at around 2:20 a.m. yesterday, a 24-year-old man and his girlfriend were walking near Seneca Avenue and Gates Avenue "when the suspect, who was walking with a female acquaintance, ran up to the victim and said 'I'm going to kill you white boy" in Spanish. The suspect then slashed the victim's throat with an unknown object."
The suspect fled with a female companion, who the police say acted as a lookout. The victim was taken to a hospital where he needed multiple stitches to close the wound to his throat.
The police describe the male suspect as being 25-30 years old and approximately 5'8" with a medium build. The female suspect is described as being 25-30 years old and approximately 5'4".
