NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are searching for two men after a subway rider was beaten with a handgun at the Columbus Circle subway station in Manhattan last week.
The victim, a 23-year-old man, was at the 59 Street/Columbus Circle in Midtown last Friday afternoon when two men asked him "what he was looking at," police said.
One of the suspects then lifted his shirt to show off a handgun on his waistband, according to police.
The victim walked to the southbound 1 train platform, where the second suspect approached him and struck him in the face, head and hands with a handgun, police said.
The suspects fled towards the northbound A train platform after the attack, according to police.
The victim was treated by EMS at the scene.
Police released surveillance images of the suspects on Saturday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
