Police are now trying to identify the men who attacked them and took $1

A 61-year-old man who suffered brutal injuries while defending his partner from an attack on Christmas Eve in the Bronx over just $1 has died in the hospital.

Juan Fresnada was attacked as he walked down the street with his 29-year-old partner, Bayron Caceres, at 1.28am on Christmas Eve.

It is unclear if the attack was a homophobic hate crime, or if the assailants were simply looking to rob the pair but they took $1 from Fresnada.

He was beaten so badly that he suffered swelling to his brain and a fractured skull. Caceres was not seriously injured.

The NYPD has released this surveillance footage still image to try to identify the assailants

Fresnada was rushed to the hospital but he was pronounced dead on Saturday, four days after the assault.

The NYPD is still looking for the assailants. They have released surveillance footage of the pair in the hope that a member of the public will recognize them and come forward.

The two suspects are both young black males.

On the night of the attack, one was wearing a red head scarf and grey jacket.

Caceres told The New York Daily News this week how Fresnada protected him. He refers to him as his husband but the pair were not legally married.

'My husband tried to defend me. The guy had his fist ready like he was ready to attack me. My husband said, "Don’t you get close to him!"' he said.

Cops search for suspects after brutal Christmas Eve Bronx robbery

According to authorities, the suspects only managed to get away with one dollar

Caceres said he and his husband had just come out of a McDonald's when one of the attackers appeared and demanded money from them.

To try to escape them, they walked into a deli but more men came to join the robbers.

Once they were all in the street, they pummeled Fresnada mercilessly. His husband ran for help but by the time he returned, he had sustained deadly injuries.

'They were beating him for 10 or 15 minutes.

'I went back and found him on the floor. He was breathing heavily and bleeding from his head.

'I tried to give him CPR but then a guy said I should stop because of how heavily he was breathing,' he continued.

The couple had just emerged from this McDonald's when they were attacked

Comment by mr1stroke on December 30, 2019 at 9:23pm: Those are niggers, not us stop including the rest of us with them, there are blacks and niggers, like white people recognize white trash and normal white people, accept the reality, i would never level my self as them

Comment by AA on December 30, 2019 at 8:13pm: This was not a random robbery. This was a targeted hate crime. Why do we continue to spiral downward as a people.I'm finally starting to believe that our people have some type of demonic influences going on. Cause I can't understand the hate, the jealously and killing blacks continue to do to to each other on a daily basis. Its increasing. Something is just not right.

Comment by vaughn mitchell on December 30, 2019 at 4:47pm: So they spend the rest of their life in jail for killing someone over a damn dollar. Damn savages.

Comment by mr1stroke on December 30, 2019 at 2:46pm: Lu ok sorry about that and it is why i said only if ot was referring to me, on that note dont let no one make you go side ways, we are about to enter a critical year may be more critical than the Bush erra and many because of government division and those who will suffer the most dont realise it, this is a platform for communication and the online world is the new way of communication and every one should feel free to speak their opinions and views, this is the only way we can learn from each other, and its not so hard to accept other differences or respect them, enjoy the holidays and ignore the negative, i only send my comment because i cant remember the last time we disagree or disrespect each other and since many love to come on the attack i was baffle by it which is why i responded in case ot was for me, so nothing bit respect to you sister queen, Happy Kwanzaa the true holiday we should celebrate

Comment by mr1stroke on December 30, 2019 at 12:41pm: Lu okay i am reading the comment since i did not address you i am just speaking my views on the article, are you responding to my comment, if yes what is the purpose of your attack, if the attack is referring to me why not address me by name because i am not talking to any one i am commenting on the article, tp talk about my mother and threating me trust me i dont do online you should ask these niggers on here how many of them i have stepped to or request in person, my goal is to name my name behind in a big way, i set my self to destroy as many as i can before i bail out, so again if its referring to me i am far from an online chatter i show my self in person, and i invite any one who wish to show me hate since the owner of this site is promoting a party this new years i know there will be a lot of members on here at that party i promise you i can make it a night mare if any one of them wants to trade hate, just look at the area, Nostrand Ave seriously why would i want to celebrate a new life there when nothing good comes out of them, i will gladly show up around not for the party but to bring sorrow, so please online threats lets do it, any one who is serious give me an address and a phone number so i know when i get there i am talking to the right person and we can both make hell on earth, only consider my proposal if your comment is referring to me
