Cops probing alleged bias attack near MSG

Police are investigating a possible bias attack near Madison Square Garden, cops said.

Two men were attacked as they were walking arm in arm down Eighth Ave. near the arena when a group of Knicks fans approached the men and began using anti-gay slurs, police said.

The four thugs — at least one of which was wearing a Carmelo Anthony jersey — started punching the 28-year-old victim in the face, breaking his nose, according to cops. His 22-year-old-partner suffered a hand injury. Both men were taken to Bellevue Hospital where they treated and released.
