As CBS2’s Elijah Westbrook reports, two of them were last seen at a gas station at Nostrand Avenue and Kings Highway in Flatbush.

The NYPD released surveillance video of one of the attacks that occurred just after 11:30 p.m. Friday on Avenue L near East 32nd Street. It shows one suspect menacing a 22-year-old Jewish man, before police said the suspect slapped him in the face, knocking off his yarmulke.
