BRITAIN: Two Gay Men Attacked By Mob

British police are seeking up to fifteen men and women who chased and brutally attacked two gay men in West Yorkshire.

The victims needed hospital treatment for head injuries after being repeatedly struck with make-shift weapons their attackers had pulled from a skip in Heap Lane, Barkerend. The gang chased and set upon the men, aged 21 and 37, as they walked towards Bradford city centre to catch a train home to Keighley. They were verbally abused by the group as they emerged from a shop on the corner of Heap Lane, having visited a friend in Undercliffe. Detective Inspector Ian Bryar, of Bradford South Police, who is leading the investigation into the attack, said: “This was an unprovoked attack on two men walking towards the city centre. “Because of the language used by the group towards the victims I believe that this attack was based on the men’s sexuality and is therefore being treated as a homophobic hate crime.

The two victims were treated at a local hospital for head wounds. One had to have his injuries closed with surgical glue.
