Florida police have arrested two men in connection to a vicious assault on a group of LGBTQ+ women in November.
Jorge Giovani Estevez, 33, and Daiken Fernandez, 25, were detained Wednesday and charged with battery with prejudice, WTVJ reports. Fernandez was charged with a felony, whereas Estevez was not.
Several lesbians and one transgender woman were with friends when they were viciously assailed in Wynwood, Fla., following an event held on November 26. Video obtained by police showed two men verbally accosting the women before they began throwing punches. The women are heard calling out for help as the men attack.
One of the victims identified Fernandez as the man responsible for punching her friend several times in the head before knocking her unconscious, as well as punching and knocking to the ground another friend, who sustained a concussion and required stitches.
