Activist Al Sharpton led a protest Monday to decry last week’s baseball bat attack on a black man. The rally came nearly 19 years after Sharpton visited the same area to protest a deadly racial attack.
The 22-year-old victim has multiple skull fractures. A man, 19, and an alleged accomplice were arrested. Both men, who are white, are charged with robbery and assault as a hate crime.
The Howard Beach neighborhood attack happened just blocks from where three black men were beaten in 1986 by a white mob after the victims’ car broke down.
