Attack on Washington state men in Oregon may be hate crime

SEASIDE, Ore. - Authorities say they are investigating an assault on two men on the beach at Seaside as an anti-gay hate crime.

SEASIDE, Ore. — Authorities say they are investigating an assault on two men on the beach at Seaside as an anti-gay hate crime.

Seaside police say two 22-year-old Washington state men reported early Sunday that a group of three to four people in black beat them unconscious.

The two were treated at an area hospital. One victim is from Bothell, the other from Issaquah.

Gross says the hate crime designation could bring a penalty in addition to the assault charges.

The two told police they were leaving a bonfire gathering when they were assaulted. Seaside police say they've asked for public help in identifying people who were at the party before the attack.
