On September 26, 2026, a violent gay bashing took place in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. 25 year old, Carson McCoy, was beaten unconscious and later taken to the hospital with serious injuries. While outside at night with friends, one woman and three men jumped McCoy before kicking, punching, and spitting on him. Upon arriving at the hospital, the victim's mother was told by a paramedic that "she would not be prepared for what she saw" due to the level of brutality. He endured a fractured orbital bone entrapped inside his eye, a concussion, and severe bruising. Niagara Police confirmed the assault to be hate motivated gayphobia and violence against LGBTQ people.
