It reportedly happened at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. According to a police release:
“On March 13, 2012, at about 2 a.m. two citizens were walking near the corner of Audelia Road and Forest Lane. A dark colored four-door vehicle (possibly a Buick) with tinted windows and 24-inch rims approached the two individuals and suspects from within the vehicle began to shout slurs that were disparaging and derogatory toward sexual orientation.
There were believed to be five black male suspects in their 20s inside the vehicle. Some of the suspects exited the vehicle, and two of them were brandishing baseball bats. The suspects attacked the two victims causing multiple injuries requiring medical treatment. This violent act constituted a hate crime and is being investigated accordingly.”
The Dallas Police Department requests that anyone having knowledge of, or having observed, this incident to please contact Detective Chris Anderson at 214.671.3616.
