Rene Chalarca and Dmitry Logunov, a gay couple, and a man who tried to help them were violently attacked by four men on Sunday in South Beach shortly after Miami Beach’s Gay Pride parade.
Police said the men were being called gay slurs in Spanish during the attack. They started to run away and were being chased by the suspects. That’s when a good Samaritan, who was identified as Helmut Muller Estrada, tried to break up the attack.
“What you see on the video continues. And it continues once they are on the ground and they continue to be attacked and violently punched,” said Ernesto Rodriguez of Miami Beach Police.
