Gay man beaten with bike chain - The attacker has not been arrested
A gay man was eating pizza with his sister. Then someone beat him with a bike chain.
Bradley Skinner was at a Dominos in a small town in Queensland, Australia.
This guy walked past, and we were all laughing and having a good time about to go home, Bradley, 25, said.
Then a stranger walking by called him a faggot.
Bradley ignored the comment, telling the Daily Mercury that hes used to being called slurs, but his sister Amanda stood up for him.
He ended up hitting her in the face, Bradley said, and it all went on from there and he got out this chain and started whacking me with it.
He started pelting me with it over and over again. He hit me from my upper legs up to my head. I kept trying to grab it and cover my face while he was swinging it at me.
When he hit me on the head, thats when I blacked out, Bradley said.
Bradley was taken to the hospital with a laceration on his head and bruises on his body. He was released the next day, but went back to the hospital when he couldnt keep his balance and had trouble speaking due to possible brain damage.
He has to take at least three weeks off of work.
Queensland Police confirmed that the incident occurred and statements were taken from both Bradley and the attacker.
The attacker has not been arrested.
