Man Charged With Hate Crime After Attack on Couple Married at West Point: Cops

Police say a Queens man has been arrested in connection with a bias attack on a gay couple at a Manhattan bodega.

Thomas Clabough was arrested Wednesday and charged with assault and attempted assault as a hate crime in the attack in the store in SoHo on Aug. 2.

The victims were Daniel Lennox-Choate and his husband, Larry, the first gay couple to be married at West Point.

A woman who died in an Ohio jail last month is heard on video asking for medical attention after a fight. Chris Tye reports.

The married couple was attacked after suspect entered the Prince Street shop to purchase a beer.

They say he shouted anti-gay slurs at the two men and then punched Daniel Lennox-Choate in the face. The suspect then fled on a bike.

The 30-year-old victim suffered minor injuries to his mouth and refused medical attention.

Daniel Lennox-Choate graduated from West Point in 2007, and his husband graduated two years later. They married in 2013.

A puppy missing from a Texas home since last week showed up in 900 miles away in Florida.

Attorney information for Clabough wasn't immediately available.
