A man claimed he was attacked by a group of teenagers in Lower Manhattan because he was wearing a MAGA hat, according to reports.
Jahangir Turan, 42, told CBS New York he was walking on Canal Street near Greene Street shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday while wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat when he was roughed up by more than a dozen teens, who cursed at him as they confronted him.
The kids shouted “Fuck Trump” during the attack, according to Fox 5 NY.
Turan, who bought the hat earlier that day, said he suffered a broken cheekbone and a black eye.
“I love President Trump. I think he’s doing a great job,” the alleged victim told Fox. “It’s sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America.”
Police confirmed Turan filed a police report but only said he was attacked by a man who punched him in the head and fled. He did not provide details about any statement the suspect may have made, nor that he was wearing a MAGA hat at the time, police said.
Turan refused medical attention at the scene.
One pair or brass knuckles would have made a big difference. By the way, the legislature legalized Brass Knuckles in Texas beginning September 1, 2019.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Mayor de Blasio will ORDER the NYPD to go after these terrorist thugs immediately. (Typed with massive insincerity.)
