The NYPD released surveillance images of the two suspects as the search for the pair in Monday's attack continued.

The victim was inside the 57th Street–Seventh Avenue station—in the heart of ritzy Billionaire’s Row, two blocks south of Central Park—around 4:30 a.m. when his two attackers approached him.

The men beat him in the head with a baseball bat multiple times before fleeing the station on foot, police said.

The victim suffered severe head trauma and was rushed to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition Friday.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
