One of the victims said at least four men started harassing her and her girlfriend when they saw them kissing on the bus
Police are calling for witnesses after two women were beaten and robbed in a homophobic attack on a London bus.
One of the victims, Melania Geymonat, posted a photo on Facebook of herself and her girlfriend, Chris, covered in blood, along with a detailed account of the assault in English and Spanish. The incident happened in the early hours of on May 30 on a night bus in Camden, north London. "As they sat on the top deck they were approached by a group of four males who began to make lewd and homophobic comments to them," the police statement reads.
Geymonat said she doesn't remember whether she lost consciousness. Then the bus stopped and police arrived, she said. "I don't know yet if my nose is broken, and I haven't been able to go back to work, but what upsets me the most is that VIOLENCE HAS BECOME A COMMON THING, that sometimes it's necessary to see a woman bleeding after having been punched to feel some kind of impact," she said.
