Herbert Holderman injured
Holderman, like Mitchell and Young, was treated by a physician at Harlem Hospital, likely in the emergency room. He does not appear in the hospital records, but in the 32nd Police Precinct book of aided cases. Two newspaper lists of the injured also included Holderman, but the only information that they provided on his identity was his home address, 73 East 128th Street, an area of mixed black and white residences on the eastern boundary of Harlem. The police record did not specify where Holderman was cut. The lists disagree on his injury; the New York Post recorded it as laceration of his hands, the New York Daily News of his face. He was one of four of those injured with wounds to the hands (20%). After being attended by a physician, Holderman went home, suggesting the wound was not serious enough to require him to be sent to hospital.
