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

Fred Bain injured

Fred Bain, a forty-four-year-old man of unknown race suffered lacerations of his forehead at some point in the disorder, one of six of those injured with wounds to the head (30%). He appears only in hospital records, which describe the injury as having been received “during riot.”

A physician from Harlem Hospital attended Bain at his home, 227 West 127th Street, at 2.47AM. He lived closer to Sydenham Hospital, but few of those hurt in the disorder received treatment there. It is not clear where or when he was injured, but Bain lived in an area of black residences only two blocks north of where the disorder began and close to many outbreaks of violence. Bain remained at home after the physician attended him, his injury evidently not serious enough for him to be taken to the hospital.
