Police are on the hunt for a group of five men who ruthlessly beat an employee of a Queens bar earlier this month.
According to police sources, the assault occurred outside of Romanticos Gentlemen’s Night Club located at 76-07 Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Heights at approximately 4 a.m. on June 7.
Law enforcement sources reported that the 36-year-old worker asked a group of about five men to leave the establishment when they grew enraged and started arguing with him.
During the altercation, authorities said, all five men surrounded him and began punching and kicking him, even stomping on him. Things spiraled out of control even further when one of the assailants brandished a knife and threatened him while the others continued to beat him with a wooden stick.
After the attack, police reported, the perpetrators fled on foot northbound along 78th Street towards 37th Avenue.
The incident was reported to the 115th Precinct. EMS rushed the victim to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was treated for injuries to his head and back. He was listed in stable condition.
Police said one of the attackers was last seen wearing a navy-blue t-shirt and black pants, another wore a black t-shirt and black pants with a black hat. The third man was last seen wearing a black t-shirt with light blue pants while the fourth was dressed in a black t-shirt, blue pants and a black hat. The fifth sought individual is described as wearing a black shirt and black hat.
No arrests have been made.
