Cops have nabbed three baby-faced thugs accused of hurling anti-LGBTQ slurs at a 72-year-old man while beating him in Chelsea on Friday, the NYPD announced Monday.
The trio of boys — ages 16, 14 and 13 — are charged with gang assault, assault as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon for the unprovoked attack around 10:15 p.m. at West 17th Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan, police said.
Police said they screamed anti-gay insults while punching and kicking the man.
The victim, who suffered a broken jaw and cuts to his face and hands in the assault, was able to make it to a local hospital, where he was treated for the injuries.
The NYPD on Sunday released photos of four teens who were wanted in the violent incident.
It is unclear if cops are still looking for a fourth suspect.

The suspect’s names were not released because they are minors.
Police said they fled the scene of the attack and ran into a building at 420 West 19th Street.
The incident was investigated by the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force.
