A man who allegedly defecated on a pride flag at a Manhattan tapas bar — and then drew a smiley face in the disgusting pile — has been arrested and slapped with hate crime charges, cops said Wednesday.
Fred Innocent, 45, allegedly relieved himself on a pride flag outside Buceo 95’s dining shed at West 95th Street and Amsterdam Avenue around 10 a.m. on April 15, according to authorities.
The alleged defecator then took another nearby pride flag and used it to wipe his backside, a stomach-churning video shows.
After the incident, Barroll vowed to her staff she’d add even more flags to the restaurant.
“I said, ‘Don’t worry, because for the two flags that he has taken from us, I will put 50 more up,” she said. “And I’ll wallpaper the whole restaurant with them.”
