Three men arrested for attacking Jewish man during neo-Nazi demonstration in Orlando
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, three men have been arrested after an altercation during a neo-Nazi demonstration near Alafaya Trail and Waterford Lakes Parkway.
The incident report says a driver, with an Israeli flag on his license plate holder and a Star of David charm on his necklace, was passing through when the demonstrators spit in the direction of his vehicle, partially into the sunroof.
The report said the driver got out of his car and openly stated he was of the Jewish faith. That's when, the report said, he said he was spit on again, pepper-sprayed and punched until he was able to get help from other drivers.
All three men were arrested outside of Orange County.
Burt Colucci, from Lakeland, appeared before a Polk County judge Saturday.
The other two, Joshua Terrell and Jason Brown, faced a Brevard County judge Monday. Brown was given a $5,000 bond but will be held until other unrelated charges are taken care of.
Terrell was given a $10,000 bond.
The incident report said the men are well-known members of the National Socialist Movement.
Terrell and Colucci are facing charges of battery with the hate crime enhancement.
Brown is being charged for grand theft, after taking the victim's phone and throwing it into a storm drain.
