New York City police say a 49-year-old gay man leaving a 24-hour corner deli near his home was beaten by two men in an apparent hate crime.

Jack Price remained in serious but stable condition Monday. He is in a medically induced coma.

Police say the two suspects taunted Price and yelled anti-gay slurs while he was in the store early Friday.

They attacked him outside, not far from his home in the middle-class Queens neighborhood of College Point.

Twenty-six-year-old Daniel Aleman was arrested Sunday and charged with assault and aggravated assault as a hate crime. The name of his attorney was not immediately on record.

A second suspect is being sought. The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
