A lesbian couple said a group of teen boys asked to be shown “how lesbians have sex” before viciously assaulting them in a homophobic attack on a London bus, a UK court has heard.

Christine Hannigan, 29, said she and her girlfriend Melania Geymonat, 28, felt “extremely distressed” after the men cornered them on a bus in Camden on May 30 and began pelting them with coins before beating them, the BBC reported Friday.

“They were asking to know how lesbians have sex. They made several comments about scissoring,” Hannigan told Highbury Corner Youth Court. “I did not speak to them. I did not feel that they wanted a response from me.”

“It is pretty intimidating, to be physically cornered and have people make homophobic comments to you in your space,” she added, saying the taunts began after the teens saw the couple kissing.

A photo of the women covered in blood made international headlines after they were attacked on their way home on a night bus at around 2 a.m. Ramirez’s nose was broken and Hannigan’s jaw was injured.

Three boys, aged 15, 16 and 17, pleaded guilty to threatening or abusive behavior toward the women but the oldest attacker denied the bus beatdown was motivated by the couple’s sexual orientation.

Hannigan admitted she got up and punched one of the boys when she realized they were throwing coins at her and Geymonat, a Ryanair flight attendant from Uruguay.

“It was scary, and frankly I deal with a lot of homophobia in London, and I was sick of it,” she told the court.
