William Poole said he was struck on the eye with a blunt instrument and suffered lacerations, bruises and stitches from the assault.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office has joined an investigation into an alleged Monday assault of a gay couple who run a chocolate shop in a city along the state’s eastern border.
The couple, who both live and operate the Wm. Poole Confections shop out of the same building in Somersworth, reported they were injured in an attack by a group of juveniles who shouted homophobic taunts.
In a post on Facebook, William Poole said he was struck on the eye with a blunt instrument and suffered lacerations, bruises and stitches from the assault by young people trying to enter the couple’s second-floor residence.
