(Video) Queens, NY – Surveillance Video Captures Brutal Beating of Man

Queens, NY – A shocking video shows a man trying in vain to fend off two thugs who repeatedly punch and stomp him on a deserted Queens street.

Jack Price, 49, tries again and again to get to his feet and escape, only to have the cowards knock him back down in their brutal onslaught, the footage shows.

Two men have been arrested in the beatdown.

Daniel Aleman, 26, was nabbed Sunday night, and Daniel Rodriguez, 21, was captured Tuesday night in Norfolk, Va., police said.

The attackers walk away from Price at one point, only to return. One of them slugs Price one last time in the face before they leave for good, the video shows.

Price, somehow, manages to get to his feet and stumble off after last Thursday’s 4:30 a.m. attack.

Late Tuesday, however, he remained in critical condition at New York Hospital Queens, hooked up to a respirator. His lungs are collapsed and his jaw and ribs are broken.

“It’s a despicable crime,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said of the assault in College Point, where the victim and his alleged attackers all live.

“The individual was attacked simply for being gay, and we’re just not going to tolerate it in this city.”

The video is from one of several surveillance cameras installed in the area by the College Point Board of Trade to deter graffiti.
