A 49-year-old gay man from Queens, N.Y., remained in a medically
induced coma on Monday after being attacked by two men as he left a
corner deli near his home Friday around 3 a.m.
Jack Price is in serious but stable condition. One suspect has been arrested and the other is still being sought in the incident, which police view as a hate crime, according to the Associated Press.
"Police say the two suspects taunted Price and yelled anti-gay slurs while he was in the store early Friday," the AP reported. "They attacked him outside, not far from his home in the middle-class Queens neighborhood of College Point."
Daniel Aleman, 26, was arrested Sunday and charged with assault, aggravated assault as a hate crime, and aggravated harassment.
City Council speaker Christine Quinn, an out lesbian, called for the second suspect to be apprehended quickly during a press conference on Monday.
"I know the Queens community is outraged that hate has tainted their streets, and I know they will join with us in helping the local authorities find the second suspect," said Quinn in a statement. "I applaud the NYPD for taking swift action on this case, and I know they will continue their efforts until justice is served."
