A worker at a gay bar in England was attacked by three people shouting homophobic abuse and left with a fractured skull.
Three people have been arrested in connection with an attack at the Eagle London this past Sunday night.
Two men, ages 42 and 30, and a woman, age 20, were asked to leave the bar’s smoking area. That’s when they started shouting anti-gay slurs at bar workers, and they were told to leave the bar.
They then became violent and attacked workers at the bar, leaving one with a fractured skull and another with a broken foot.
