MOSCOW (AP) -- A gay activist says three people have been injured by masked men who stormed into a Moscow gay club in an apparent hate crime.

Viktoriya Soto of the 7 Freedays club said Friday that a dozen attackers broke in late Thursday during a "Coming Out" party.

Soto said the attack was organized, and that they attackers were `'especially aggressive" toward women.

Moscow police told Russian media that a young woman was hospitalized with broken glass in her eye. Police were using security cameras footage to identify the attackers.

I also wouldn't hold my breath on the Moscow police finding the assailants given their record in the LGBT Community.
