THE BRONX —  Two men beat a man with a baseball bat in broad daylight on a High Bridge street last week, police said.

The men, both in their early 20s, argued with their 54-year-old victim outside Go Go Gadget Mobile & More at 1372 Jesup Ave. at about 9:35 a.m. on Dec. 1, said police.

One of the young men swung repeatedly at the man’s head and body while the other punched and kicked him, according to police.

Video surveillance footage captured the two suspects — one carrying a baseball bat and both wearing hoods — immediately after the attack.

The victim was rushed to Lincoln Hospital where he was treated for bruising and an injury to his right eye, said police.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
