Police are looking for several men that assaulted a senior man near 169th Street in the south Bronx earlier this month.
A 68-year-old man reportedly became engaged in a verbal dispute with the men in front of a building on Union Avenue at about 1:50 a.m. on Friday, May 8.

The NYPD also released this footage of the suspects.
