HeadlineDec 19, 2016

In New York City, three activists were physically attacked by a group of men chanting pro-Trump and pro-police slogans, as the three activists were leaving a political art space Saturday night. Witnesses say the attackers yelled anti-gay slurs and called the activists “communists.” It appears to have been targeted, as the men were waiting in a nearby bar for the group to leave the party. Photos taken after the attack show the activists sustained bruises to their bodies and faces.
