LOWER EAST SIDE — Three men beat up a 21-year-old after he stood up to them for catcalling his sister, police said.
The attackers were sitting in a white car on the northeast corner of Clinton and Stanton streets roughly 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 31, when they started making remarks at the victim's sister, police said.
The trio pulled the car over after getting into a heated argument with the brother, and began punching and kicking him multiple times — leaving him with a fractured eye socket, bruised head and swelling around his eye and his left wrist, police said.
The men then pushed the 25-year-old sister to the ground, scraping her hands, wrists and left knee, police said.
The 21-year-old brother went to Allen Hospital for treatment, according to the NYPD.
Police described the attackers as being between 25 and 30 years old and standing roughly 5-foot-11. No further information was available about the suspects.
