Anthony Cados assaulted
Anthony Cados, a thirty-four-year-old white man, told Dr Sayet of Harlem Hospital that he been "assaulted by some unknown colored person or persons." The ambulance call-out record placed the time Sayet attended at Cados at 10.00 PM, so the alleged assault likely occurred around that time, and on the street near the address to which the ambulance was summoned, 2022 7th Avenue. Around that time there had been a clash between police and a crowd at the nearby intersection of 7th Avenue and 121st Street, in the midst of which Lyman Quarterman was shot.
Cados did not live at the address at the address to which the ambulance was called, but over ten blocks to the south, at 116 West 109th Street. Sayet treated him in front of the building, suggesting Cados may not have had access to any place inside. However, Cados called for an ambulance five and a half hours later, at 3.30 AM, to the same address, for further treatment of his injury. It seems unlikely that he spent the intervening time on the street. The businesses at that address were a food market and a stationary store by the time the Tax Department photograph was taken, neither a location to spend the early hours of the morning (this section of 7th Avenue is missing from the MCCH business survey).
The ambulance call-out record described Cados' injury as "laceration of scalp." Dr Sayet was in both the ambulances that attended Cados; on neither occasion did he judge the injury to be serious enough to warrant taking him back to Harlem Hospital. Cados did not appear in any of the lists of the injured published in the press, indicating that he did not make a report to police. While the ambulance record did not include information on race, specifying that Cados' attackers were "colored" indicated that he was a white man.
