Man Defends Friends Subjected To A Homophobic Attack In Chelmsford
A man was beaten up after defending friends subjected to a homophobic attack for holding hands in Chelmsford, Essex.
Lee Brobson suffered several injuries after the attack who he said began with “homophobic slurs” but turned violent as the two men "were going for blood.”
According to the ‘BBC' Brobson said he tried to calm the situation before it turned into violence but was not able to.
"I went in there completely non-confrontationally, [with] open palms. As soon as they threw a punch then it was closed fists," he said.
"They set into us. They were going for blood.”
One of his friends who was threatened, Daniel Berry Birrell, described Brobson as “heroic".
"I don't think he should have had to do it. I'm grateful that he was there and extremely thankful," he added.
Essex Police have confirmed they are investigating reports of the assault.
