Atlanta ( CNN ) -- One of three suspects in a videotaped beating of a gay man has been arrested , Atlanta police said Saturday . Christopher Cain , 18 , was taken into custody around midnight and charged with aggravated assault and robbery , said a statement from police spokesman Carlos Campos . Three men were seen in the video shouting anti-gay slurs as they beat , punched and kicked Brandon White , 20 . Police have identified two other suspects but they have not yet been arrested nor have their names been released . White was attacked February 4 outside a convenience store in a working class neighborhood in southwest Atlanta . Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed doubled to $ 10,000 a reward for information leading to arrests . Meanwhile Saturday , community leaders and neighborhood residents rallied outside the convenience store in support of White . `` When you see something going wrong , you must do what you 're doing here today , ' said U.S. Rep. John Lewis . White did not report the attack at first but stepped forward after a video went viral on the internet . The video showed three men punching and kicking White after he stepped out of the JVC Grocery and Deli . The men , believed to be members of a gang called Jack City , yelled : `` No f -- -- ts in Jack City . '' Later , the store 's surveillance video showed White , dressed in a purple shirt and black jeans with a cell phone to his left ear , exit the store along with another man . As soon as they stepped outside , White was accosted by his attackers . The surveillance video captured eight men standing around watching , two of them with video cameras in hand . One man lunged at White with a tire in his hands . `` If a straight person can walk to the store , I should be able to do the same thing , '' White said . `` I could have died that day . They are monsters . At this point I am beyond mad . '' He said he could not at first even bring himself to watch the video ; he was so humiliated and embarrassed . But after its wide circulation , White decided to talk to the police . `` Once they put it out there they set themselves up , '' said . `` I feel I was violated . The scars run deeper than anyone will know . The physical pain , I can get over that . My thing is : Who 's to say they wo n't come after me again ? Who 's to say they wo n't kill me ? '' FBI agents are also investigating the case to determine whether it meets criteria for prosecution under the federal hate crimes statute . White said he could not comment on that aspect of the investigation . U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said her office is looking into potential civil rights violations based on sexual orientation . Georgia does not have a state hate crimes statute . `` The actions depicted in the video are appalling and unacceptable in our community , and we encourage anyone with information about this video to contact the FBI or Atlanta Police , '' Yates said . Pittsburgh community residents said the corner where White was attacked is notorious for violence . They called for the JVC store to be shut down and asked for beefed up security . Those who attended Saturday 's rally said it was up to everyone to make sure this kind of attack does not occur again . `` This is not a one day campaign . this is not a one week campiagn , this is a lifetime campaign , '' said Cleta Winslow , an Atlanta City Council member . Last year , the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs released a study that showed that hate crimes committed against lesbian , gay , bisexual , transgender ( LGBT ) and HIV-affected people were on the rise in America . In 2010 , the coalition reported a 13 % rise in LGBT hate crimes and documented 27 murders , a 23 % increase from 2009 . State Rep. Simone Bell , who is openly gay , told CNN affiliate WSB TV that she hopes this case will pave the way for anti-hate crime legislation in Georgia . CNN 's Maria P. White contributed to this report .
