THE BRONX— Police are looking for four people who brutally attacked a man with a baseball bat in Concourse, according to police.  

The 32-year-old victim was repeatedly struck and kicked in the face and body after an argument between him and five men near River Avenue and McClellan Street around 7 p.m. Sunday, the NYPD said.

One suspect was arrested, but the whereabouts of the remaining four attackers are unknown. On Thursday, investigators released pictures of the suspects in an effort to find them.

Police previously arrested Julio Mendez Santana, 22, for his role in the attack near Yankee Stadium. Santana was accused of reversing his car onto the victim after the four unidentified attackers fled the scene.

He was charged with attempted murder, gang assault, and assault to cause serious and physical injury with a weapon, according to criminal court records. 

The victim was transported to Lincoln Hospital where he remains in critical condition, according to officials.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
