NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police in Queens are hunting for three suspects they say are wanted for an assault on a subway train that was captured on video.

The video was recorded just after 2 a.m. on Nov. 8. It shows an argument between two men on a Queens bound L train that police say quickly escalated into a beating.

WARNING: Graphic Content

In the video, the victim is seen pushing away one man when another jumps in and the two begin punching the victim. Soon, three men can be seen hitting and kicking the victim to the floor. The bloodied 25-year-old tries to crawl away, but the suspects are relentless.

CBS 2′s Dave Carlin showed the shock video to city straphangers on Wednesday.

“They keep on bothering him for no apparent reason,” Chastity Reyes said. “It’s more and more crime and it’s happening every day.”

“I’m scared. I take the L train evey day that makes me feel a little too scared,” added Stella Lowder of Queens.

“Guy looks like he’s not messing for anybody and they’re just looking for a victim. It happens,” said Robert Flores of Bushwick, Brooklyn.

There was no word on the extent of the victim’s injuries or what he was arguing about with the suspects.

If you have any information, call police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Minnesota is a Right to Carry State we don’t have that problem here . Maybe you New Yorkers should vote yourself some gun rights.

Bernard Goetz… Are you watching this?

It’s hard to tell if the victim is white, hispanic,or Asian… but the bushy brown hair seems to eliminate the 3rd. Why should anybody be shocked by this? They IS who they IS!! Who BE their daddy?

Notwithstanding the savage beating at the hands of this human trash, WTF was the victime doing on the subway at 2:00 a.m. by himself and all alone? This guy was a victim because he practically bedded for it by having zero common sense and awareness for hjs own safety. Just sayin. . . . .

You are an absolute idiot. Why can’t this person ride a train alone at 2am? Are you even from NYC? 2am here is nothing. Maybe he was just getting off work from a restaurant after a dinner shift. Get a clue about what you’re talking about before you speak.

Right on! My thoughts too

Maybe he was coming home from work you idiot. All whites are potential victims when confronted by more than one African male.

Blacks are just evil. A plague on our country.

Gremlin

Blacks are cowards who are only brave in gangs!

Upyours

Agreed.
Laughin out Loud

Gremlin I’m Black… & a Woman,living in Los Angeles,Ca, & working in public transportation. You have been misinformed..There is nothing cowardly about Blacks,( you saw the video all could have been avoided had the victim not put his hand in that guys face especially since he’s out-numbered) I’m not saying the thugs are right…But neither is your comment..

U Ghetto Monkey

Says the Monkey smoke weed

Laughin out Loud

Are you sure about that comment??? Your name sounds like a plague,or serious V.D. Anyway, I could say the same about other races,Lately, alot of white children are missing, or killed by their white parents,I’m reading reports of child rape at affluent colleges,by white coaches……Today i’m just going to address the “race” who feels superior than any other…Shall I keep talking about who or what race is the “Plague” or are you starting to smell yourself????

U Ghetto U Sux

Alot of Mexican, Ecuadorians, asians, etc are always jumped by Blacks in New York. Because Blacks are more racist than anyone. Black tribes sold other black tribe members to the Europians for slaves. READ A BOOK instead of smoking it.

Laughin out Loud

Blacks have a right to be racist,After being sold ,beat, raped, & degraded, By every race on the planet,”JEALOUS of our BEAUTIFUL skin color”, Our guards should come down, because those same people,says their sorry (which you are) “you can trust us”…LOL I know my history, “leper boy “and I also know yours; I know that the majority of you tried to kill us off then an you want to now. Not gonna happen and we let it be known by continuing to whip that ass of whoever and whenever we feel necessary.F uck what you think!!!! LOL…
Laughin out Loud

SMOKE ON THAT…LOL

Are you kidding me? You shouldn’t ride the subway at 2am because the subhumans are out and about. Here’s an idea. Let’s all ride the subway at 2am and pack a little heat. The cops will not protect you, so it’s time to protect ourselves. I have no problem taking these wastes of space out. It will save us all a ton of money.
mac

Here is a hint. If there are any brave NY’s who have the stomach for some giveback, then get some buddies together (but spread out), get on the train at 2am or so and wait for thems to begin the trouble. Then about 20 of you surround them pos’s, pull out your weapons and let them all have it. Then calmly turn and walk out at the next station. What afantasy.
BOHICA

JUST SAYIN … This man has a right to travel and move about secure from assault. He also has a right to defend himself. You New Yorkers removeded his right to defend himself. That means he lost the right to be secure from assault. Those who still live in New York or California or DC deserve the conditions they live under. After all, they let it happen. So, if you live there, you gotta ask yourself ‘hows all those gun control laws workin out for ya?’
Idiota

Moron… go back to whatever midwestern suburb you live in. You are surprised that a man is on the subway alone at 2am… LOL! Let me guess, you go to bed at 9:30pm every night falling asleep to a taped copy of last night’s Jay Leno?

Plato never rode the subway!

randalusa

Another instance of violent racist blacks on the attack for the liars at ABC, NBC and CBS (national network) to ignore while spending their days looking for dirt on Republican candidates.
h44

Of course NO WHERE in the story does it mention that 2 Black guys are beating a white guy.

The reporter doesn’t even mention race as if it’s somehow irrelevant. I can’t wait for the shoe to be on the other foot.

snankticaoo

It doesn’t have to. The headline says it all. Why waste ink/pixrels on redundant information?

you been busted

They will be easy to find because person doing video is with them so once they track her down on you tube case closed jail time.
snankticaoo

It’s time we had a Bernie Goetz moment. The state is failing in its duty to protect.
The public will overwhelmingly support anyone who defends themselves.
The public will overwhelmingly reject anyone who defends the criminals.
Now is the time. These predators are a danger. Fell free to open fire. It’s okay. We will support you.

mac

Unfortunately “the public” is comprised of a high number of thems and according to this link thems pretty much always vote along ‘color’ lines not reasonableness or logic or truth!

So even that will probably be a loosing battle!

duane

We used to hear, “Two on one is n****r’s fun” so maybe we were right after all.
Jack

Why do people not fight back? It amazes me to see grown men huddles up! None of these monkeys were throwing solid shots. My 14 yo hits harder than any of these hood rats.

Matt

Amen Jack. I’m a normal sized guy, but between my time in the military and an uncle that taught me how to throw a punch, I can hold my own. I was jumped by two hood rats in a parking lot 5 years back. The one I popped in the throat dropped like a sack of crap and his buddy ran off after he got a bloody lip. He did get me a bit though. Couple of nasty tooth marks on my knuckles. I don’t understand how people assume huddling up is a good option. You’re just making it easy for them
sean patriot

Some people do fight back, but Holder and his gang of racist assclowns make sure they go off to jail somewhere

Crosscut

Twenty percent of black Americans are hard working family people who live in abject fear of the other eighty percent. Blacks, like Muslims and the Democrat Party, are on a path to self destruction. In the meantime stay alert and support conceal carry.

Americanmix

Agree. It is a shame for the black folk who are trying to rise above the rest–the ones holding down jobs and trying to raise quality families. The only hope the black community has is to become extremely vocal and visible regarding this violence. We are not seeing it.

Where is Obama, our great healer? Where are the good outspoken blacks? We don’t hear you or see you!

tired170

Black guys. What a surprise.

Welcome to Obama’s America

Michael H.

Crime on the subway has been going on for a lot longer than the last three years.

J Alan

Hmmm…what is “common” about all these vicious beatings of helpless People? hmmm?
Mike

Obama!, Obama!, Obama!,
matt

another ‘prank’.
somebody call eric ‘my people’ holder.
Randy

I’m waiting for the Concealed weapon reciprical law to be pass, then I’ll ride the trains, hoping some monkey makes a move, It’ll be like bernie Getz,

DMC

Right on!
snankticaoo

Why wait? The state has failed in its duty to protect you, so I say screw it, open fire.

The public will support you.
Diane Ryan

I hear you Randy but the cities are long lost. Give these thugs the cities. America still exists. Move to the Mountain States and watch the cities destroy themselves. These dimwit thugs will be stealing TVs while the grid goes down and the last loaf of bread is taken off the shelves.

Knee grows and TNB…Diversityiscrap dot com

Another hate crime committed against a white person by a group of black thugs. When are we going to see some honest reporting by the media.

Weasler

NEVER, my friend! Don’t EVER expect the LIEberals to be fair.
You are wasting your time if you do.

anon

Stupid naggers.
Robert

That what you get for being white in New York City. All them Jews are cheering for the blacks.

kj

what jews? Good luck trying to find jews supporting this type of action…also, I think the victim looks mexican..all of you “realists” still so vocal?

caligula

You say: “i ‘think’ the victim looks mexican (sic).” Then you have the gall to smugly call others “realists” when you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Shows your IQ. Keep it up nitwit.

That Guy Bob

You must still be partying from last night, yo, cause’ I knows you ain’t up at 8am by your own right. They have computers in prison, now that explains it…
Noper

Queens bound L Train? The L Train goes from Canarsie Brooklyn to 14th Street, Manhattan. L Train does not go to Queens.

Ed

Beat me to it. Technically, part of one of the platforms at the Halsey station is in Queens, but um. CBS Local must not be that local.

Weasler

Gee, how significant.

I guess that means niggers are not violent after all, huh?

Laughin out Loud

Weasle, you are worse than these thugs,who committed there crimes,these guys actually done their stupid deeds on camera,in person,You… on the other hand are sitting behind keyboards,in seclusion, trying to “stroke” up a race war! Stop it! find something constructive and not destructive to do…..

Laughin out Loud

Kids” today”,It’s so sad to see! What happened to his shirt? Is this a new trend? must your clothes,start to come off ,when in an argument? Anyway, I hope the guy is ok. and the “Bare-naked Thugs”,held accountable…
RIFLEMAN

IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME…..I AM THE NEXT BERNIE GOETZ……NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

Kalik K Crick

I love your comment….These savages should be put away.

My38Party

Amen brother! (not brutha) A few Bernie Goetz style responses to these pack attacks and the bunnies will think twice. Assuming they think at all. Either way, less bunnies.

Marcus Jackson

Right on… Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six
Vicky Bevis

Hubby, age 68, just got his CCW permit last yr. & as the instructor told him, “If you don’t carry it at all times, what’s the point of getting a CCW?” Many States have reciprocity if you get one in a State that allows it. We WILL be “carrying” next month when we go to our son’s in S.C. And our other son’s in Pennsylvania over Thanksgiving.

Anarchy is coming, faster each day. Our country is doomed unless we can get our serious problems sorted out & soon!
