Two suspects wanted for allegedly brutally beating and mugging a tourist outside a Times Square hotel are believed to be migrants who’d been living in shelters, police sources said.

The two are wanted for attacking the 44-year-old Indiana man outside the four-star Club Quarters Hotel on West 45th Street just before 2:30 a.m. May 10, according to police appeals and sources.

They allegedly punched and kicked the tourist during the savage attack.

The suspects fled on foot after snatching the victim’s phone and wallet, police said.

The pair are believed to have been staying at nearby migrant hotel shelters, according to a source.

The victim refused medical attention after the beatdown, cops said.
