Woman & mother assaulted, mistaken for lesbian couple
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A woman said she was just going out for a late-night dinner with her mother, when they were apparently mistaken for a couple and brutally assaulted in an anti-gay attack.
> We keep hearing the word ‘lesbian’ said over and over again,” Tiffany Santiago said.
> attacked ... by a group at a nearby table who started yelling anti-gay slurs and throwing things
> fighting escalated from shouting into shoving, and then an all-out brawl. “He threw me across the restaurant,” Santiago said. “I don’t even know how far I went, but I went through tables, chairs, glasses.”
> her attackers were drunk, and said the restaurant owner .... also appeared drunk
When asked for comment, the owner would not speak to CBS2.
