ATLANTA -- Atlanta police have arrested a suspect in the beating of a 20-year-old gay man that was captured on a widely viewed video.
Police spokesman Carlos Campos said Saturday that officers have charged 18-year-old Christopher Cain with aggravated assault and robbery in the Feb. 4 attack outside a southwest Atlanta store.
Police are still seeking two other suspects in the beating of Brandon White. Their names haven't been released.
Federal authorities are investigating the attack as a possible hate crime. Gay slurs are heard in the video as White is beaten. White told reporters that he shouldn't have to fear for his life because he is gay.
