NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Three suspects are wanted in what’s being investigated as a “hate crime” following the brutal beating of a teenager in Astoria, Queens.

CBS2’s Magdalena Doris reported the attackers were yelling “ISIS, ISIS” and “Arab” at the victim while beating him.

“It’s shocking because it happened so fast,” Ray Bisram, the victim’s father, told Univision.

Footage reveals the suspects walking along 10th Street between 33rd Road and 34th Avenue in Astoria Wednesday afternoon as they notice the victim.

One of the suspects pulls out a metal pipe from his sweater and charges toward the 19-year-old.

The NYPD said one of the teens punched the victim while two others threatened him with a metal pipe and a bat.

“It was just a protruding lump that came out of his head,” Ron Garcia, the victim’s neighbor, told CBS2.

The attack came to an abrupt end as Garcia came walking up the block.

“They pushed him up there and that’s when they went to take the swing on the pipe with him,” Garcia said. “He averted it, like he moved out away and midway to me, and when he made his way to me, that’s when they ran up the block.”

Bisram said his son is “traumatized” following the attack.

“Right now, he’s kind of traumatized, because, you know, a guy punching him and another guy running with a bat and a metal pipe scream out, you know, racist words and stuff toward him, he’s pretty traumatized because he’s thinking what if they would have hit me with that pipe,” Bisram told Univision.

Police are still searching for the suspects.
