(Fox 5) Luke Funk Aug 02 2019 08:13AM NEW YORK - A New York City art gallery owner says he was viciously beaten in Manhattan by a large group of teens for wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Jahangir John Turan 42 says it happened Tuesday evening on Canal Street.  He was wearing the MAGA hat that he had purchased earlier in the day at Trump Tower. I love President Trump. I think hes doing a great job Turan said. He says the group of about 15 kids yelled F*** Trump and stomped on him. One of them smashed his head into a scaffold. Turan says he suffered a fracture in his cheek and a badly swollen eye. Hes awaiting an eye specialist to determine if there is any permanent damage to his sight. He held a Thursday afternoon news conference to demand that the NYPD find those responsible for the attack. As for wearing the hat again in New York City he says hell think twice before doing it again. Its sad to get beat up for wearing this hat. This is America Turan said.
