Four homeless men were found beaten to death in Chinatown early Saturday and a fifth was critically injured in a terrifying Lower Manhattan rampage, police said.
Police responding to reports of an assault in progress on Bowery Street near Doyers Street in Chinatown at about 1:50 a.m. found a homeless man unconscious with head trauma, cops said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another man, 49, was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital in critical condition, authorities said.
Shortly after, police found three other victims just down the street, all with head trauma, police said.
The three were pronounced dead on the scene.
Two of the victims were found in front of a store on East Broadway, and the third was discovered across the street.
A 24-year-old man — who was found with a metal object that resembled a pipe — was taken into custody near the scene during the investigation, police said.
The suspect is also believed to be homeless, according to cops.
