Police arrest one man in connection with the disgusting bias crime attack in Brooklyn. Here’s the story from New York 1.
Three more people are being questioned and one person is under
arrest in connection with an attack in Brooklyn Sunday night that ended
with the victim hospitalized in critical condition after he was beaten
then hit by a car on the Belt Parkway.Police said 19-year-old John Fox of Brooklyn has been charged with
one count of assault and two counts of robbery as a hate crime in
direct connection to the Sunday night attack.Sources say that Fox, a sophomore at SUNY Maritime, met 28-year-old
Michael Sandy online and led him into the trap that left the Long
Island man brain dead in Brookdale Hospital.Fox’s father said his son never did anything like this before.
"He has a black roomate," said Fox. "They are friends. Ugh, he’s not a racist. He’s a good kid."
Investigators say the victim went to Plum Beach Sunday night and
was beaten by as many as four white men. Sandy met Fox and drove to a
parking lot where the other men were waiting. As the victim broke free
of his attackers, he was hit by a car on the Belt Parkway, suffering
serious injuries to his body and to his head.
