Man turns himself in for allegedly bashing gay man in East Village
A man turned himself in for bashing a gay man in the East Village, cops said today. Pretty impressive that the cops have nabbed people in both of the post-Carson attacks.
The New York Post reports:
A man turned himself in for bashing a gay man in the East Village, cops said today. Gornell Roman, 39, allegedly pummeled victim Dan Contarino and called him anti-gay slurs on Monday while they were walking to a homeless shelter the two were both staying at, authorities said. He was charged with two counts of felony and misdemeanor assault and felony aggravated harassment, all as hate crimes, police said. Roman turned himself in yesterday evening to police in The Bronx, and has not been arraigned yet, authorities added. This is one of two gay-bashings that have happened since Mark Carson, 32, was shot to death in the West Village on Saturday. Two men were also arrested for attacking two men on Broadway near Houston Street about 5 a.m. Monday and shouting anti-gay statements at them in English and Spanish.
