On Sunday night, not long after New York City's Pride parade, two men aboard the Queens-bound F Train allegedly threatened and assaulted a group of LGBT youth as well as a woman who filmed the incident.

In the video, one of the men threatens to rape one of the teenagers, and the other man appears to physically attack the woman filming him, violently grabbing her arms in an attempt to steal her phone. Later in the video, the same man grabs the throat of one of the teenagers.

According to the woman filming, both men fled from the train at the Roosevelt Ave stop, though they were overheard saying they were on their way to Jamaica.

The full description of the incident from the woman who filmed it is below:



A group of people had gathered to stand up to the gay bashers. During this, the second assailant put his hand around the neck of a young queer woman. When the doors opened up at the Roosevelt Ave stop, both assailants fled. I followed them to the station exit while calling 911. One witness had overheard them saying they were on route to Jamaica; they're likely commuters who regularly take this route.

I uploaded the video to YouTube to see if anyone can identify these men. I was left with bruises and scratches from both assailants which I also documented. If anyone sees them or knows them personally, please contact the authorities. This was a hate crime.
