In what appears to be a bias motivated incident, two gay men were brutally attacked in a New York City barbecue restaurant in Chelsea. The attack occurred on Cinco de Mayo at Dallas BBQ and was caught on video by a number of patrons at the restaurant and immediately shared on a variety of sites via social media.
According to DNAinfo.com, the NYPD is investigating the incident but has not yet determined whether the attack is a hate crime. “These guys attacked us specifically because they knew we weren’t their type of people,” said Jonathan Snipes, 32, who had a tooth knocked loose and cartilage snapped in his ear during the beating. “It was disgusting. It was awful,” continued Snipes, who was attacked alongside his boyfriend Ethan York-Adams, 25.
The altercation began when the couple was leaving the restaurant and accidentally knocked over a drink on the table of the assailant. Reputedly, the assailant said “White faggots, spilling drinks.” Snipes approached the man and then the altercation ensued. After Snipes is beaten to the floor, he his helped up by his boyfriend and taken away from the fight. it is then another member of the assailant’s party hits the two men over the head with a chair. Before police and other first responders arrived, the assailants fled.
