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

Hashi Mohammed arrested

Hashi Mohammed, a twenty-two-year-old Black man identified as of "Abyssinian" origin, appears in lists of the arrested in the Atlanta World, Afro-American and Norfolk Journal and Gazette as charged with inciting a riot and possession of a firearm. He also appears in lists of the injured in the New York Evening Journal, New York Post and New York American as having "internal injuries."

There are no details of where or when Mohammed was arrested or how he might have been injured. He lived at 4 West 128th Street, a block east of an area of Lenox Avenue that saw extensive disorder after 1AM. Mohammed did not appear in the Washington Heights Magistrate's Court until March 22, whereas most of those arrested in the disorder had been in court on March 20.

While police charged a small group of men with inciting a riot, only one other man was charged with possession of firearms
