Police have arrested a man on a hate crime charge in connection to an anti-gay incident.
Authorities said a 43-year-old Brooklyn man approached two 22-year-old men around 9:30 Saturday morning on Utica Avenue and began making comments about one of the men's clothing.
As the men continued on their way, police said the older man pulled out a knife and made anti-gay remarks while menacing them.
The younger men flagged down two police officers, who took the 43-year-old into custody.
He was charged with menacing as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon.
