PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A fender bender in Park Slope sparked a violent argument that sent a a 71-year-old man to the hospital, police said.

Two men remain on the loose after the Sunday assault that unfolded in front of 791 Union Street, near the Sixth Avenue intersection, authorities said.

The men first backed into the 71-year-old’s car about 5 p.m., then argued with him, NYPD officials said. They eventually punched, kicked and threw him to the ground before driving off west along Union Street in a 2014 Honda Accord, authorities said.

The victim went to the hospital for “eye trauma” and a broken hand, police said.

Police asked for the public’s help identifying the two men.

The first man is about 25 years old, roughly 6 feet tall with a slim build, police said. He was last seen wearing all black clothing with a white design or logo on the front.
