Beating may have been anti-gay
Times Wire Reports
Four attackers may have mistaken two brothers walking arm in arm for a gay couple before using a baseball bat and a bottle to beat one of them into critical condition, police said.
One of the attackers used an anti-gay slur when first confronting the brothers, Ecuadorean immigrants who were walking down a Brooklyn street early Sunday.
No one has been arrested.
