DailyKenn.com — An unnamed 15-year-old boy was savagely pulled from a train and pummeled on the subway platform.

He was autistic. 

Three teens — two girls and one boy — were video recorded punching and kicking their victim as onlookers video recorded the assault. 

The attackers appear to be Hispanic or Latino.

The victim is black. 

Takeaways...

• The assault illustrates the innate human propensity for in-group bias and rejection of those who are different.

The media seems to emphasize racial bias when victims are black. 

• The attack provides more evidence that diversity is not a strength. 

• New York City was once a city that was as safe as most country towns. What changed? 

• In 1999 baseball great John Rocker explained why he would never play for a NYC team:


"Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English."

Rocker was subsequently vilified for his opinion.

A 14-year-old is facing several charges, including assault and aggravated harassment, in connection to the brutal attack of another teenager with autism on a New York City subway platform, authorities said.

The incident, reported on March 10 inside the W. 181 St. and Washington Avenue subway station in Washington Heights, was captured on graphic video.

A teenage male, 14, was arrested in connection to the attack and charged with aggravated harassment, assault, harassment and menacing, police said on Wednesday.

According to investigators, the male victim was approached by the three individuals, pulled from a northbound A train onto the platform, and called anti-Black slurs.

The disturbing video shows the group taking turns punching and kicking the teen repeatedly, while onlookers recorded the attack on their phones. No one is seen intervening in the video.
