LOWER EAST SIDE, NY — A group of white supremacists attacked two men in the Lower East Side on Saturday, apparently after spotting one of the men's anti-fascist phone sticker, the New York Post reported .

The men, brothers, were attacked as they left Clockwork bar, 21 Essex St., early on Saturday morning, police confirmed. Officers responded to a 911 call of an assault at the bar. Multiple people with the white supremacist "211 Crew," were inside the bar and followed the brothers as they were leaving, police said.

The group "forcibly removed" one brother's cellphone in addition to threatening the men with a knife, and "the victims were punched and kicked in the head repeatedly," according to an NYPD spokesman. The New York Post reported that the group saw one brother's phone, which had a sticker that read "New York City Anti-Fascists," before launching the attack. Officers responded and said they arrested one person in connection with the attack, 29-year-old John Young of Washington, D.C. Young was charged with assault, grand larceny, menacing, criminal mischief, and possession of a weapon, police said.
