Two people were caught on video unleashing a brutal road rage attack on a neighbor in Queens after a dispute over a parking spot, cops said.
Arturo Cuevas, 30, and 27-year-old Daisy Barrera could be seen in footage obtained by The Post as the pair pummel their 28-year-old victim with a baseball bat just before 4 p.m. Friday on 49th Street near 47th Avenue in Sunnyside, according to police.
Barrera and Cuevas had an ongoing parking dispute with the man and decided to launch their attack when they spotted him in the street — leaving him in critical condition.
The pugnacious duo could be seen striking him with a baseball bat repeatedly. The victim was also stabbed five times “throughout the body” during the broad daylight attack.
The 10-second clip begins with the victim already splayed on the ground in the middle of the street, with blood spatter next to him.
The sickening clip shows the man and woman attacking the 28-year-old victim while he was already down in the street. Daisy Barrera, 27, and Arturo Cuevas, 30, were arrested and charged in connection to the attack.
A man is shown kicking him in the back and in the head just before a woman wallops him in the head with the bat.
“Oh my God, stop!” someone can be heard yelling.
Two other women stand nearby. One other person is only partially seen in the frame.
The victim then rolls over onto his stomach – but that doesn’t stop the male attacker from getting in his face again, pointing an object at him and striking him with it just before the video cuts off.
The broad-daylight attacked stemmed from a long-running parking dispute, cops said. NYPD
He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where he was listed in critical but stable condition Monday, cops said.
Barrera and Cuevas were both arrested and charged with assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.
