A 23-year-old man was seriously injured after he was hit in the head by a baseball bat on Monday evening in Sunnyside, police said.

The victim was walking near the corner of 46th Street and Greenpoint Avenue at around 8:25 p.m. when he was approached by two men dressed in black, police said.

One of them struck him in the head with a baseball bat, police said. The two suspects fled in an unknown direction.

A passerby who was walking his dog witnessed the attack, police said.  The witness said he saw two men in black looming over a third man, who was lying on the ground.

The police obtained video of the attack.

The victim was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with a laceration to his head. The police said he is in “serious condition,” but did not release his identity.

No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
