Cops are hunting for a homophobic brute after a Sunday morning attack in Brooklyn sent two men to the hospital, cops said.

The two male victims — a 29-year-old and a 34-year old — were in front of 540 Metropolitan Ave. in Williamsburg when the bigot made anti-gay slurs and socked the 34-year-old in the face, causing him to lose consciousness. He then turned his hate on the 29-year-old, pinning him against a tree and causing him to also lose consciousness, cops said.

Both men were transported to local hospitals — the 34-year-old received  treatment for a fractured shoulder, while the 29-year-old suffered a fractured finger.

The unidentified suspect, who was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with khaki-colored pants, fled in an unknown direction.

Both victims are expected to survive, authorities said.

The cause of the altercation is still under investigation.
