A group of
lesbians from Newark, N.J., attacked and stabbed a straight
man in downtown New York City early Friday morning after the
man apparently came on to one of the women. Wayne
Buckle, 28, was allegedly whipped by belts and then
stabbed with a steak knife by Patreese Johnson in
retaliation for the unwanted advance, the New York Daily
News reports.
According to a police source, one of the women
yelled "She's my girl, and no one hits on my girl!"
during the incident. Later, at the police station
house, where the seven suspects were charged with gang
assault and criminal possession of a weapon, another
woman told the Daily News that
Buckle "called us [homophobic slur] and he said he was
going to f--- us all." Said another: "He spit on us
and threw a cigarette. This is a hate crime."
Buckle was recovering at a local hospital in
critical but stable condition. (The Advocate)
