BRONX - The NYPD released new photos of five suspects wanted for beating a Bronx man and then trying to shoot him on a busy street. 

At around 7 pm on January 29, a 25-year-old male was standing in front of a Soundview nail salon at 1207 Stratford Avenue. Cops said a group of young men approached him and then attacked. 

The attackers punched and kicked the victim repeatedly, cops said. Then as the victim tried to get away, one of the attackers pulled out a handgun and opened fire, cops said.
