A 19-year-old Manhattan man has been arrested in connection with anti-gay robbery attacks on the Upper East Side in May and June, the police said on Friday. The man, Driton Nicaj, was arrested on Thursday night near his home on East 84th Street, his father said. He faces charges including aggravated harassment and robbery as hate crimes.

The police said the first robbery occurred on May 31, when two gay 19-year-old men sitting on a bench in Carl Schurz Park were approached by a group of men who demanded money and made off with $22.
