The suspects in the assault were both described as white males, 17 to 23 years of age, around 6 feet tall and 160 pounds, with shaved heads.
Tuesday's attack is the Square's second this week involving attackers described as skinheads, police said.
On September 17, a Cambridge resident told police that around 2 a.m., he and some friends were confronted outside 1374 Mass. Ave. by 10 to 12 men a police advisory calls skinheads.
One member of the group threw a metal trashcan at the individual, hitting him in the head. Others shouted homophobic slurs.
The victim was treated and released.
