All alleged attackers are young men between the ages of 15 to 18, said the police.
Police in London have arrested five teenagers — all male — in connection with a brutal attack and robbery of a lesbian couple who were beaten after they refused to give in to the teens‘ calls for them to kiss each other.
The Metropolitan Police announced Saturday morning that officers had arrested a 16-year-old male on suspicion of robbery and aggravated grievous bodily harm. This arrest came a day after authorities had charged four other young males — all between the ages of 15 and 18 — in the same incident.
Suspects in the case have not been publicly identified.
The May 30 attack gained worldwide attention Friday after 28-year-old Melania Geymonat, a Uruguay national, posted a photo taken immediately after the incident showing herself and her American girlfriend Chris, covered in blood.
In a Facebook post accompanying the photo, Geymonat said she and Chris had been on a bus to London’s Camden neighborhood late that night after a date when a group of men spotted them sharing a kiss and began to harass them.
