What a bunch of brute Lees.

Police are searching for three thugs who savagely attacked a 25-year-old man with nunchucks in an attempted robbery inside of a Washington Heights subway station.

The wannabe ninjas were caught on surveillance video Jan. 6 at 4:15 a.m. at the West 157th Street station, approaching the victim as he walks toward the turnstile in the station’s mezzanine.

They allegedly told the victim that they liked his jacket and wanted it, police said.

The victim resisted and the hotheads started punching and kicking him while the third man violently beat the victim with the nunchucks, police said.

The man broke free, ran onto the platform and alerted authorities, police said.

He was taken to Columbia Presbyterian and treated for cuts on his head, police added.

All three suspects are believed to be 17-19-years old, about 5-foot-8 and 150 pounds. No arrests have been made.
