A group of more than 20 teens attacked a panhandler on a subway pulling into Columbus Circle, leaving the victim hospitalized, police said Sunday.
The gang of between 20 and 30 teens beat the 29-year-old man begging for money as the uptown A train pulled into the 59th St. station about 9:20 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
Medics took the victim to Mount Sinai St. Luke's for minor facial injuries.
The teenagers scattered and fled after the train pulled into the station but cops were able to nab two of them.
They charged Sita Cisse and Justin Moore, both 16 and of Harlem, with gang assault, resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, assault with intent to cause physical injury, unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct.
Cisse and Moore were awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court Sunday.
