4 Teenagers were arrested by London cops on Friday in the "homophobic" attack on a lesbian couple who were beaten bloody on a double-decker bus.


One of the Main victims, Melania Geymonat, described her harrowing experience of last Sunday's incident on Social Media, saying a group of young men demanded she kisses her girlfriend, Chris, for their entertainment.


Metropolitan Police said the couple was riding on a top deck of a bus to West Hempstead when the teens, aged 15 to 18, began to harass them with "lewd and homophobic" comments. According to Geymonat, even as the couple tried to defuse the situation, the youths attacked them anyway.


They started to attack like hooligans, demanding that we kiss so that they could enjoy watching, calling us 'lesbians' and describing sexual positions," she wrote on Facebook Wednesday.

"Chris even pretended that she was sick, but they kept on harassing us, throwing us coins and becoming more enthusiastic about it. The next thing I know is that Chris is in the middle of the bus fighting with them."

"On an impulse, I went over there only to find her face bleeding and three of them beating her up badly. The next thing I know is I'm being punched." Geymonat said she became dizzy and fell back; later she realized police had arrived on the bus and she had all blood all over her.


A picture she uploaded with her Facebook post shows the women sitting on the bus with bloodied faces and blood stains on their clothing.

The teens ran away, and phone and bag were stolen away. Police said. Women were taken to the hospital for treatment to facial injuries and later got released.

In an updated released on Friday by police, said Four teenagers were arrested on suspicion of robbery and aggravated hate crime.

They were taken to separate police stations for further investigations. Police are also reviewing surveillance video footage of the attack.
