Texas Gay Man Left Beaten And Bloody After Possible Hate Crime Near Fort Worth
Police in the small Texas town of Springtown, located northwest of Fort Worth, are investigating a possible hate crime in a brutal and bloody attack on a gay man after he arranged a meeting with another young man using the mobile app called MeetMe.
The victim, Arron Keahey, 24, said his first contact with the 18-year-old suspect, Brice Johnson, was through the phone app. Keahey went over to the teen's house about an hour later -- thinking he was gay or bisexual -- and was attacked.
Keahey said he was attacked and ambushed almost immediately. The attack left him beaten, bloody and bruised, reported WFAA-TV.
"He started getting all frustrated and talking all angrily," Keahey said. "I don't remember anything after that."
The attack left Keahey with broken facial bones that required plastic surgery. Keahey also suffered nerve damage and had some of his teeth knocked out.
