Two gay men were attacked at a snack bar on Fugger Strasse 01:30 Sunday morning. The two attackers were arrested by police very soon after.
The two men went to the snack bar and had food thrown at them and were insulted by two drunks. They tried to ignore the drunks and left but were followed and hit and kicked on the corner of Martin Luther Strasse and Fugger Strasse.
They fled into a restaurant where the assault continued in front of the diners and one victim fell to the floor. The police arrived and arrested the drunks. Blood test showed that one of drunks had recently had 2½ litres of beer. They denied that they had committed assault, but were detained for a while and had to appear before a judge on Sunday. One has been kept in jail. They face prison sentences of up to ten years. The victims had minor injuries.

Why did none of the diners in the restuarant help these two men. Also why were they not offered assistance by the staff in Fugger Imbiss? After all they make huge sums of money from gays. And if the police want evidence why dont they just go to Fugger Imbiss and retrieve the CCTV tapes?
