'#GotEm:' NYPD Arrests Suspect in Attack on Couple Wed at West Point

Police in New York City say they've arrested a man in connection with the hate-crime attack on the first gay couple to be married at West Point, two graduates of the military school who showed they haven't forgetten their boxing classes.

Thomas Clabough, 57, of Queens was to face a judge Wednesday on charges of assault and attempted assault as a hate crime.

Police say on August 2, the suspect entered a deli on Prince Street in lower Manhattan to buy a beer and saw Daniel and Larry Lennox-Choate.

As The Advocate reported last week, Clabough allegedly began yelling antigay slurs at the pair, then sucker-punched Daniel in the face. That's when Larry took action.

"He left covered in his own blood with his tail between his legs after I handled the situation and tossed him in the street like the coward loser he is," Larry recounted in a Facebook post.

"We refuse to be victims and are thankful we can defend ourselves, but are saddened by the fact that idiots like this guy might not pick two guys who went through Plebe Boxing next time," he added. The suspect ran from the store, got on his bicycle and pedaled away.

Daniel, 30, refused medical assistance after the attack. He served in Afghanistan and Iraq after graduating from West Point in 2007. His husband, who graduated in 2009, posted an update to his Facebook page:
