The additional officers threw him to the ground, and continued to pepper spray the victim while he was handcuffed. The officer attacked the victim, and threw him up against a police car, while two other police officers arrived at the scene. According to AVP, on the night of Sunday, June 3rd, in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, three openly gay men reported they were walking past the 79th Precinct when a NYPD officer accused one of them of public urination. Unfortunately, June started on a negative note. GLAAD partnered with the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP) to bring media attention to the attacks, as well as organize a march mourning the death of a 32 year-old gay man, who was the victim of the fatal anti-gay incident. Twelve anti-LGBT incidents, including one fatality, were recorded for the month of May.
