Cops are looking for the three men who allegedly pummeled a transgender woman and pulled her hair in Brooklyn last week in what they are calling a bias assault.
The 32-year-old victim was heading north on 7th Avenue near 8th Street on May 13 at about 11:10 a.m. when the trio began making derogatory remarks about her sexual orientation, police said.
“I was just trying to get away at that point,” the victim told NBC. “I just didn’t want any altercation.”
One of the men, with a tattoo under his eye, then socked the victim in the face before the two others punched her and pulled her hair before fleeing, according to police.
The victim told NBC that the goons hit her “in multiple directions, fists at the same time.”
The victim walked in to Methodist Hospital and treated for a fractured nose and eye socket, cops said.
“These individuals seem like they would do it to the next person, would brutally beat up somebody,” the victim said to NBC.
