Pictures of 7 Alleged Cowards in The Beating Of a Gay Man at McD's

D.C. Police have released surveillance camera images of seven people accused in a suspected hate crime attack on a gay man two weeks ago.

Sebastian Thomas Robles Lascarro, 22, was beaten up by a group of people inside the U Street McDonald’s location on Oct. 27 around 1 a.m.

He had stopped by the fast food restaurant to get a quick bite after a night out at bars nearby, but decided to leave because of the long lines. As he headed toward the door, a young woman screamed at him, allegedly saying that, “He needed to watch where the f— he was going, and to say, ‘excuse me,’” his husband, Stuart West, told WTOP last week.

Police are investigating the assault as potentially being motivated by hate or bias.
