Two transgender activists were attacked in the streets of New York City this weekend while they were working on a film about violence against transgender people.
Norma Ureiro and Bianey Garcia, the filmmakers, were recording video in Queens at 2:35 a.m. Saturday when they got into an argument with a man and a woman. The man and woman shouted anti-transgender slurs at them.
The woman, Paola Custodio, then pepper-sprayed the activists, getting Ureiro on her chest and Garcia on her back.
