Lesbian and trans woman beaten by group of men in Miami, video shows

At least two LGBTQ women were beaten by a group of men in Miami, video exclusively obtained by NBC South Florida shows, in what police say they are investigating as a possible hate crime.

The incident took place in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood — known worldwide for its art galleries and colorful street murals — on Nov. 26, according to NBC South Florida, which obtained footage of the encounter from one of the victims this week.

The video shows multiple men attacking the women and their male friend, who reportedly tried to intervene. The victims can be heard pleading with their attackers to stop and saying that they’ve already called the police.

“This group of guys, basically, they just started screaming stuff at us, anti-lesbian comments, like, ‘You’re only lesbians because you haven’t received actual,’ and he used a profanity word,” one of the victims, who asked that her name not be published due to fear of retaliation from her attackers, told NBC South Florida in a video interview.
