NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD is searching for two suspects wanted for threatening and spewing anti-gay and anti-Jewish slurs at a teen boy at a gas station last week in Brooklyn.
The menacing occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 20, at an Exxon gas station located at 6201 Avenue U in the Mill Basin neighborhood, officials said.
According to police, the teen was approached by the two suspects in a burgundy colored Ford van, with unknown plates.
