Two men and a woman surrendered to police Wednesday morning after being accused of beating up a gay couple in Philadelphia earlier this month.

Philip Williams, 24, Kathryn Knott, 24, and Kevin Harrigan, 26, were accompanied by their lawyers when they turned themselves in at Central Detectives in Franklintown, reports Philly.com.

The three suspects, who are all from Bucks County, have been charged with two counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal conspiracy and reckless endangerment offenses.

The incident occurred on the night of Sept. 11 when a large group of well-dressed young men and women came across two gay men in Center City. The victims claim that the group used gay slurs and viciously attacked them, leaving one man with a broken eye socket and a wired jaw, and his partner with bruises and a black eye.

To find the suspects, police posted video footage of the suspects online. Shortly thereafter, a Twitter user posted a photo of the group inside of a restaurant on the night of the attack. A series of tweets encouraging Twitter users to try to identify the people in the video, and about a dozen people used Twitter and Facebook to help identify people in the picture, reports The Associated Press.

According to Williams' attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., the victims' sexual orientation did not play a role in the case. Instead, he told reporters Wednesday that this was a "mutual confrontation" and that his client "was not the aggressor," reports ABC News.

Representing Knott, who is the daughter of Chalfont Borough Police Chief Karl Knott, defense attorney Louis Busico also denied that the dispute was motivated by homophobia and that his client took part in the bashing.

"She in no way participated in the assault of anyone," he said Tuesday, adding that "she didn't hurl an insult or a slur, of any kind," reports NBC10.
