Two brothers in the town of Spennymoor in County Durham, England, were reportedly attacked by a gang of men and women after leaving a local nightclub, according to the BBC.
The group reportedly shouted homophobic slurs at the 21 and 26-year-old men before violently attacking them, causing head injuries.
The local police sent out a call for information: “This was a nasty and completely unprovoked assault, with homophobia clearly an aggravating factor. We want to hear from anyone who was in the area and knows anything about it.”
