Two suspects wanted for brutally beating and assaulting a tourist outside a Times Square hotel are believed to be migrants who were living in shelters, police sources said.

The two men are wanted for assaulting the 44-year-old Indiana man outside the four-star Club Quarters Hotel on West 45th Street just before 2:30 a.m. on May 10, according to calls and police sources .

They allegedly punched and kicked the tourist during this savage attack.

The suspects then fled the scene on foot after grabbing the victim's phone and wallet, police said.

The two men are believed to have been staying in nearby migrant hotel shelters, according to a source.

The victim, who was from Indiana, refused medical treatment after the beating, police said.

Police released surveillance footage of the two suspects on Sunday in hopes of finding them.

At least one of the suspects was wearing a ski mask at the time of the attack, the footage shows.
