Harlem in Disorder: A Spatial History of How Racial Violence Changed in 1935

Arthur Block assaulted

Arthur Block, a twenty-two-year-old Black resident of 14 West 127th Street, was allegedly bitten on the hands. Block’s name appears only in lists of the injured published by the New York Evening Journal, Daily News, and New York Post. His injuries are different in each list, with the New York Evening Journal reporting Block was bitten on his fingers, the Daily News on his left hand, and the New York Post on his right hand. No details of when or where the incident took place are included, but being bitten was not an injury that could have been suffered incidentally, so the event was an assault.
