Teen Lesbian Couple Attacked In Brutal Hate Crime At Six Flags In Massachusetts<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Six<\/p>\n

Two lesbian<\/a> college students were brutally attacked in an anti-gay<\/a> hate crime at the Six Flags New England theme park in Massachusetts on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The women<\/a>, ages 18 and 19 and both students at Bryant University in Rhode Island, were hugging and kissing at about 7 p.m. on a bridge connecting the Six Flags pickup area to Main Street in Agawam, according to a report from MassLive.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When a woman<\/a> stopped and stared at them, one of the victims asked whether there was a problem.<\/p>\n

“No, I’m just waiting for my kid,” the woman<\/a> replied.<\/p>\n

As the couple<\/a> walked away, the woman<\/a> said, “I wouldn’t care about your gay<\/a> asses anyway.”<\/p>\n

The couple<\/a> ignored the comment, but then the woman<\/a> began yelling graphic, anti-gay<\/a> slurs. The couple<\/a> turned around, and one of them got in the woman<\/a>’s face, again asking what her problem was.<\/p>\n

That’s when the woman<\/a> began punching the victim in the face, before kicking her and pulling her hair as she lay on the ground. Meanwhile, another woman<\/a> punched the first victim’s girlfriend<\/a> before pulling a knife.<\/p>\n

The suspects fled after a crowd gathered, but they were later arrested in the parking lot.<\/p>\n

Damarielys Mukhtar, 29, of Springfield and Nikia L. Butt, 27, are charged with assault and battery and a civil rights violation with injury. Mukhtar is also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n

Mukhtar was released on bail, but Butt was being held without bond because she has a previous charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon from 2014.<\/p>\n
