A young man has suffered head injuries in Barcelona when he was attacked by a group of homophobic youths, who attacked him while shouting “fag” at him, causing him a head injury, as reported by the Observatory against Homophobia of Catalonia and the victim herself on social media.
The event took place on Sunday night in Diputació de Barcelona street, in the Eixample district. The victim, who identifies as vitalik-rubito On social networks, he has posted a photo of his face on Instagram with his head bandaged and a message warning that he has been in Spain for three years and on Sunday night “he met homophobia” in Eixample. The young man assures that he was going down Diputació street when some boys approached him and asked him for a cigarette. The young man told them that he had none. “I walked a street and felt a blow to the head,” he narrates on his Instagram account. They insulted him: “fag”.
