An openly gay school psychologist from New Jersey was pummeled in a Greenwich Village subway station in a bias attack, cops said.
The suspect approached the 39-year-old victim and his partner at the West 4th Street station at 12:30 a.m. Sunday and asked if they were Polish, police sources said.
The duo, who live in Clifton, replied “yes,” but told him they didn’t speak the language, the sources said.
Then he asked, “Are you a f—–?”
Both men said “yes” and walked away, the sources said.
But that’s when the suspect became irate and said “I hate f—–s!”
He punched the 39 year-old man in the face and said “I hate f—–s!” twice more before he fled.
The couple took a cab ride to Times Square before hopping into a second cab to Lenox Hill Hospital, police said.
The man was treated for a broken nose and fractured orbital bone, cops said.
His partner was left physically unharmed.
Last year, there was a spate of anti-gay attacks in Greenwich Village including the fatal shooting of Mark Carson, 32, in May.
Carson was shot in the face allegedly by Elliot Morales, 33, on West Eighth Street near Sixth Avenue after the man taunted him for being gay.
Morales is facing charges of murder as a hate crime.
