Second suspect busted in anti-gay Brooklyn bodega attack: cops – New York Post

Cops busted a second suspect in connection to the hate-fueled attack on two men inside a Brooklyn bodega earlier this month, authorities said early Tuesday. 

Christopher Clemente, 37, was busted at 5:50 p.m. Monday and charged with attempted murder, robbery, assault, aggravated harassment, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon — all as hate crimes — in connection to the brutal Sept. 4 attack, police said. 

The victims were buying food when Clemente, Jonathan Carter, 31, and a third suspect beat them with a glass bottle and a screwdriver and robbed them of an iPhone and cash — all while making homophobic comments, police said. 

The older victim was treated at Woodhull Medical Center for a puncture wound on his chin and a cut on his lips, cops said. 

The younger victim went to the Kings County Hospital Center with a cut on his right hand and shoulder. 

Both are listed in stable condition.
