| ‘Middle Eastern’ mob brutally beats lesbian couple celebrating a birthday | |
| 2024-07-02 | |
| A lesbian couple was beaten by group of men who they accuse of first making rude comments about their sexuality while they were out celebrating their birthdays. Terrifying scenes captured on video show the couple surrounded by nearly a dozen men, with one woman lying on the floor while another appears to be held back by one of the alleged attackers. The assault came after one of the men allegedly made a rude comment about Emma MacLean as she was walking in downtown Halifax, Canada, with her girlfriend Tori Hogan after visiting a few bars to celebrate Emma's birthday on June 22. McClean described the men as 'Middle Eastern', and said they are 'believed to be from Syria'.
But then the group of about 10 men allegedly started beating Tori around 1.30am. 'All at once they all just swarmed her and started punching and kicking her in the ribs. Then I kind of got into my fight or flight,' Emma told Saltwire. She explained that she tried to protect Tori, saying she 'basically jumped on one of their backs and put them in a chokehold - trying to restrain them.' But video shows some of the men in the group kicking at one of the women, who was lying on the ground - while the other struggled to break free from another man's clutches. Eventually, a bystander alerted police patrolling the area nearby - but by the time the officers arrived, the fight had already ended, according to Emma. Officers then spoke with one of the men involved in the alleged assault, who reportedly blamed the fight on the two women. While he gave his ID, the other men involved refused to cooperate with police and identify themselves, according to Emma. Police told CTV News they are still investigating the incident, and no charges have been brought against the assailants, who Emma and Tori believe to be between the ages of 18 and 24. Emma said police told her they are hoping to get CCTV footage of the incident, but she said the existing videos taken by witnesses already show the men 'beating up two girls'. Both Emma and Tori are rugby players and Emma grew up learning mixed martial arts in her father's gym. Despite her training, Emma said she surprised herself by not throwing a single punch and instead opting to try and restrain one of the attackers. 'I put them in a choke hold,' she said, remembering that both her and the man fell to the ground before she let go after 'being manhandled'. | |
