MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A special meeting was held Tuesday to discuss what can be done about hate crimes following two attacks on Miami Beach.
“I just got bashed on Washington Ave.,” the latest victim told CBS4’s Silva Harapetian.
The man, who didn’t want to have his name public, was convinced by Miami Beach police to file a report after he was attacked at the Burger King on Washington Avenue on Sunday afternoon.
He said a group of people used gay slurs as he tried to get away, but they followed him out to the street.
“He tells me, ‘Hey [slur], I’m not done with you yet.’ When I turned around, he throws his drink in my face,” he said.
The situation escalated, with his father in the car watching helplessly.
“I told him ‘don’t get out,’” he said.
The victim admits he tried to fight back, but got hit multiple times.
