Family Thinks Otterbein Assault May Have Been Hate Crime

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Police confirm the suspect arrested for a violent attack Thursday night on a young man in the Otterbein neighborhood near Federal Hill is now a suspect in a similar attack just one night earlier in the same area.

Derek Valcourt talked to the father of the latest victim and has more on the attacks.

Three attacks in less than a week in Federal Hill. We have a first look at the injuries from the most recent attack—and why the victim’s family thinks this might have been a hate crime.

It will take plastic surgery to properly fix the injury suffered by the 25-year-old victim, who asked not to be identified by name. It happened Thursday night when three African-American teenagers attacked him, throwing a rock at his face as he walked down Montgomery Street after leaving his lifeguard job at the nearby Otterbein Swim Club. Police say one of the suspects, 19-year-old Sidney Joyner, tried to stab him with a pocket knife; the victim dodged the blade.

Growing up in SE Washington DC in the 50's and 60's taught me, my family, and friends one thing: it only happens when they have overwhelming odds. They NEVER pick a fair fight. Look at all the stories you have read or heard, and it's always way out of balance. When's the last time you heard about three of them attacking 25, or one jumping on three or four, or any ratio like that? If the number of participants is close, it's three teens on one 70-year-old.
