4 charged with hate crimes for destroying LGBTQ+ pride flags, Atlanta police say

Atlanta police said Tuesday they're charging three men and a juvenile with hate crimes after they pulled down LGBTQ+ pride flags and cut them up at an intersection known as the center of the city's LGBTQ+ community.

Police say they got calls at 1:40 a.m. Tuesday morning that six males were causing a disturbance near the corner of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street, an intersection in the city's Midtown neighborhood that is painted with rainbow crosswalks to honor its importance in Atlanta's LGBTQ+ community.
