CONCOURSE, The Bronx — Police are searching for a subway rider who attacked a gay man, screaming homophobic epithets at the victim then pushing him down the stairs at a Bronx subway station.
The attack happened about 11:30 p.m. June 4 at the 183rd St-Grand Concourse station in the Bronx, a police source told PIX11 News Wednesday.

During the beating, he allegedly told the victim, “You f—ing f—–s make me sick.”
The victim, a 48-year-old man, was treated for a broken nose, a cut above his eyes and numerous bruises, sources said.
