NEW YORK (WABC) -- Police are investigating the beating of an openly gay journalist in Midtown Manhattan last week as a possible bias attack.

Now, a sketch has been released of the person police are looking for.

The hate crimes task force is investigating the attack on Randy Gener, is a Filipino-American editor, writer, and artist.

On January 17, he was attacked in Midtown, a block away from his apartment. He had just left a party around 4 a.m. and was on his way home near 54th and 7th Avenue - that is where he crossed paths with his attackers who beat him and left him for dead in the street.
