NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) — A man and woman teamed up to beat a man over the head with a glass bottle on a Queens bus earlier this month, and police released surveillance images of the suspects in hope that someone recognizes them.
A 37-year-old man was riding a MTA Q53 bus at about 1:30 p.m. on July 7 when he was approached by the pair of suspects.
As the bus was nearing 101st Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard in Ozone Park, a fight broke out between the suspects and victim.
Police said that the man and woman hit the 37-year-old in the head with a glass bottle multiple times, which caused lacerations to his head and face.
The couple hopped off the bus at the stop and fled northbound on Woodhaven Boulevard, officials said.
The victim was transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in stable condition.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
