Third Homophobic attack in Amsterdam
News site NL Times has reported a third attack on a gay couple in Amsterdam Oost in a matter of weeks. One man was stabbed in the arm with a piece of glass and, according to police on Twitter, three teenagers were arrested.
It was reported that the victims were in a canoe when their attackers began verbally abusing them. When the couple went to address the teens, they were attacked.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment.
This is the third incident of a gay couple being harassed and attacked in Amsterdam since Easter.
