The photo of the attacker has been circulating online since the attack and for some good news there are reports he was arrested this morning.
UPDATE :
Police made an arrest last night over the incident which took place at McDonalds West 3rd Street in Greenwich village.
The victim, 24-year-old Jamar McLeod, was attacked by a man who reportedly made anti-gay remarks to his transgender girlfriend, Jaslisa Griffin. An argument followed and 44-year-old Keith Patron pulled out a razor blade and slashed Mr McLeod on the elbow, face, back and neck.
It’s claimed the violence was sparked because Ms Griffin used a women’s toilet.
A verbal argument ensued following the comments, and that’s when police say 44-year-old Keith Patron pulled out a razor blade and slashed Mr McLeod on the elbow, face, back and neck.
He now has permanent scars.
Mr Patron has been charged with assault as a hate crime.
It is getting to the point where Transpeople should get a caution about using the restroom in Mc Donalds.
