Suspects Sought in Anti-Gay Attack at UCLA

WESTWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) — UCLA campus police have released a sketch of one man they say was involved in an anti-gay hate crime against a student.

It happened around 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 18 as the male student was walking south in the 400 block of Gayley Avenue, near Veteran Avenue.

ucla-suspectAccording to UCLA police, two men got out of a dark-colored, four-door sedan and approached the victim.

One of the men threatened the victim with a knife and made anti-gay slurs. The two suspects then fled in the vehicle heading south on Gayley.

The student suffered scratches and bruises, but declined treatment.

One of the suspects is described as a white male about 26 or 27 years old, 5’9″ tall and 160 to 170 pounds.

He had brown eyes and a shaved head and was wearing jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt.

The second suspect is described as a Hispanic male, also about 26 or 27 years old. He was about 6’4″ and 300 pounds.

He had long, black hair that was slicked back and was wearing baggy clothing.

The student told police that he did not know either of the men, but he thought they might have been able to guess his sexual orientation based on how he looked and acted.

Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to call the UCLA Police Department at 310-825-1491.

        The website domain is from Spain (.es). So maybe they're Spaniards who want to steal your money and identity.

    There should be absolutely free mental health programs and psychiatric therapy for all angry people and especially for people who can't control themselves when they want to do crimes for "sport."

    Gayley and Veteran is a pretty dark or dimly-lit area.

      Another moronic comment from a wackjob who's uncertain about his masculinity. KTLA needs to edit these comments.
