Investigat­ors released sketches (left) of three suspects wanted in a Midtown bias attack on a mother and daughter apparently mistaken for a lesbian couple.

The 27yearold woman and her 46yearold mother were enjoying dinner at BarKogi on Second Avenue near East 51st Street at 1:05 a.m. on Sept. 12 when three people sitting behind them began shouting “fking lesbians” and other homophobic insults, police sources said.

They then threw the younger woman to the floor and started dragging her by her legs, cops said, then fled.

The daughter suffered knee scrapes and was treated at NYU Hospital. Her mom wasn’t harmed, the sources said.

The bearded male suspect was described as in his mid40s, 5foot8 and 180 pounds, and is balding.

One of his female accomplice­s is apparently in her mid30s, 5foot7 and 130 pounds with dirty blond hair.

The other woman appears to be in her mid30s, 5foot7 and 120 pounds with long, wavy, black hair.

A teen boy was wounded when a gunman opened fire Wednesday night in East Harlem, cops said.

The 15yearold victim was standing on Lexington Avenue near East 123rd Street at about 7:55 p.m. when shots rang out, police said.

One round caught the victim in the back. He was in stable condition at Harlem Hospital, lawenforce­ment authoritie­s said.

Investigat­ors did not immediatel­y identify a suspect or a motive in the shooting.
