Gay Man On Christmas ‘Stomped In The Face And Jaw Over And Over While Being Called A Faggot’
A gay Virginia man on Christmas night brutally attacked in his own home says he’s “so very thankful to be alive.”
Drew Inge, who lives in Virginia, says on Christmas night he was brutally attacked inside his home.Â
“I was thrown into my bathtub, and stomped in the face and jaw over and over while being called a ’faggot,’†Inge wrote on Facebook, according to NewNowNext. He says his attacker tackled him “from behind into my door and slammed my fingers on my right hand into the door, breaking them and ripping them open.”
“I was attacked, beaten, held against my will, stabbed in the face with a metal object and am now recovering,” Inge wrote on Instagram.Â
“I will be out of work for a while,” Inge, who works as a hairdresser, says. “I won’t be able to work as one of the injuries I sustained was my fingers I use to cut hair being crushed.”Â
“I don’t know the extent of damage done to my fingers but I will be back to do hair in a few weeks hopefully, and I won’t let anything stop me.”
Inge adds he’s “having dental work to have teeth that were stomped out of my face fixed.”
On a fundraising site to help him cover his rent and medical bills, Inge calls it a “hate crime in which he was held against his will, beaten and verbally abused.” He says he “had four teeth knocked out” and his “hand and fingers were lacerated and broken.”
Inge says after he called 911 the police arrested the man who attacked him.
