Porn Actor Edin Sol Victim of New York Gay Bashing

Several days ago, Port Authority Police arrested two men for a gay bashing that occurred in Midtown Manhattan. A reader over on Queer Me Now has since identified one of the victims as porn actor Edin Sol, who has filmed scenes with Falcon Studios and Lucas Entertainment, among others.
Police say that around 5am last Friday, the two men were trying to get into an after-hours billiards hall when they were approached by a group of five people who proceeded to shout anti-gay slurs and beat the men. Two of the men are now in custody, but the rest remain at large. This makes three gay bashings in New York in the past several weeks.

The first two rows are Edin and his friend. The bottom row features shots of the two men who were arrested. Based on the nasty black eye one of the perps is spotting, it looks like Edin put up a fight.
A Twitter exchange confirms the intel:

@rentboy_es thank you!

Edin also told Queerty, “I’m still in recovery after this malevolent attack. I can’t get over this situation and the fact it still happens. I feel in shock and unsafe going out anymore until someone does something about it.”
We’re heartbroken to hear that something like this could have happened to someone like Edin, and our thoughts go out to both him and his friend. We wish them a speedy recovery and hope that the police find the other assailants quickly. Stay safe, QueerClickers. It’s scary out there!
