Detective Charles Foley assaulted
Like most (6/9) of the officers assaulted, Foley was hit by a missile. However, the clash in which the assault occurred was the only time police and crowds clashed off a major thoroughfare, on a narrower cross street that exposed officers to objects thrown from roofs as well as the street level (NYHT). So while in other cases there is some possibility police could have been hit by objects thrown at store windows they guarded, Foley was almost certainly the target of the object that injured him.
According to the hospital record of the ambulance call-out, Foley had an injured shoulder. Five newspapers listed this injury (HN, HT, NYDN, NYJ, NYT). Three other papers listed instead a head injury (Am, DM, NYP), the most common injury resulting from being hit by objects. According to the NYT, Foley refused medical attention. Given that an ambulance attended him that claim is likely a misstatement of the fact that he was not taken back to Harlem Hospital, but treated at the scene.
No one was arrested for assaulting Foley, as was the case in seven of the nine assaults on police.
