Bat bashers in ‘anti-Mexican’ attack

A PAIR of attackers cursed out two Ecuadoran immigrants as “Mexicans,” then beat them bloody with a baseball bat in Harlem, police said Wednesday.

The victims, ages 23 and 29, got out of a taxi and were walking down W. 141st St. by Broadway when two men got out of a black Honda sedan and confronted them at about 1:30 a.m. Monday, cops said.

“I had just called my sister to come down with money to pay the cab,” said the younger victim, an Uber driver who spoke on condition of anonymity. “When I was crossing the street they yelled, ‘Yo, you f---ing Mexican. Stupid Mexican.’ I said, ‘What did I do to you?’ ”

The pair spoke in Spanish, the victim told the Daily News as he recovered in his Upper Manhattan home. “They say they were Dominican.”

When he walked back to the cab, and the men emerged from their car with bats.

The hate-filled duo beat the younger man in the head, hand and arms, and struck the older man in the back.

“I was bleeding from my head. I took my shirt off, put it on my head to stop the bleeding. It was a lot of blood,” he said.

His sister arrived moments later, and he called out to her to write down their license plate number.

“They kept hitting us. A young woman walking down the street started yelling, ‘The police (are) coming!’ ” the injured man recounted. “They got back into their car and sped away. They almost ran over my sister. They skipped a red light.”

Both victims were taken to Harlem Hospital and treated, with the younger man requiring stitches, police said.

One suspect has short black hair and light skin and was wearing blue jeans and a light gray sweater.

His accomplice is about 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, and has short dark brown hair.

The younger victim said he still feels woozy, and hasn’t been able to return to work.

“I can’t drive because I will be dizzy on the road,” he said. “My friend is in bad shape, too. His ribs still hurt.”

“I asked why they would do this,” he said, “and all they did was call us Mexicans.”
