Article: AVIANCE SUFFERS BROKEN JAW IN ATTACK

Four people were arrested on hate-crime charges after singer Kevin Aviance , whose songs have topped the Billboard dance chart, was attacked in New York over the weekend. Police said Aviance, 38, underwent surgery for a broken jaw after the attack Saturday, and he's in stable condition. The singer's publicist, Len Evans , said a group of six or seven men attacked Aviance early Saturday, and passers-by didn't stop to help. Arrested on charges of first-degree assault as a hate crime were Jarell Sears and Akino George , both 20, Gregory Archie , 18, and Gerard Johnson , 16. Aviance often performs in drag but was "dressed like a boy" when he was attacked, Evans said.
