Police are searching for a brute who attacked a 33-year-old man with a tire iron in Williamsburg on Aug. 4, sending him to the hospital with a fractured skull, according to a police report.

The two strangers got into an argument in front of a bar on Bedford Avenue between N. Sixth and N. Seventh streets at around 8 pm, when the bruiser grabbed a tire iron from a nearby vehicle and whacked the victim over the head with it before running off, police said.

Emergency responders took the victim to Bellevue Hospital with a skull fracture, cops said.

Police describe their suspect as 25–29 years old, 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds, with a long black pony tail. He was last seen wearing a red T-shirt, black and white patterned pants, and red and white sneakers.
