The victim had injuries to his face, left arm, and left knee, but the worst injuries were to his jaw, which was broken.
“His jaw was broken so severely it required all of his teeth to be removed from his mouth,” the victim was told at the hospital.
One man has been arrested in connection to the crime: Cedrick Green, 23. The victim was able to pick him out of a photo line-up.
Green has been charged with felony battery causing great bodily harm as a hate crime and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. He had previously been charged with other misdemeanors in another incident and was released on bond with the condition that he not commit any other crimes.
Green is currently being held on a $10,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for later this month.
The other two alleged attackers are not named in court documents.
