A gay couple in New York City was targeted and attacked by four suspects in Times Square last Saturday.
The two men were walking around Times Square at around 10:30 p.m. on April 8 when at least four suspects began to berate them.
“They come up to us and they’re like,’ you need to move’. They’re like, ‘You need to move.’ They start pushing us,” one of the victims told FOX 5 New York. The couple asked for their identities to be concealed for safety reasons.
The suspects reportedly used profanity and made anti-gay comments while they were beating the couple.

The couple also said that Times Square was full of people while the attack occurred, but no one intervened to help. No suspects have been arrested yet.
