Arrest made in attack against gay couple in NYC who left their assailant covered in his own blood
A 57-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the 2 August attack against a gay couple in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood.
The suspect, Thomas Clabough, got more than he bargained for after he ‘sucker punched’ Daniel Lennox-Choate inside a deli after shouting homophobic slurs at him and husband Larry Lennox-Choate who are both graduates of West Point Military Academy.
‘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 Lennox-Choate wrote 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.’
Clabough has been charged with assault as a hate crime and attempted assault as a hate crime, according to the New York Post.
‘Good always triumphs over evil,’ Larry wrote on his Facebook page Wednesday (12 August). [It’s a good day for freedom. Justice is in the air and it smells damn good. #GotEm’
The Lennox-Choates were the first male couple to be married at West Point Military Academy. Daniel graduated in 2007 and Larry two years later. Daniel served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
