On the streets
Even as reinforcements led police to expand their presence beyond 125th Street, they still lacked the numbers to guard the damaged stores as they had earlier on the block of 125th Street around the Kress store or to move crowds off the streets. Individuals began to enter stores through the broken windows to take merchandise, often breaking more windows and doing further damage in the process. Police responded to the increased looting by more often firing their weapons than earlier in the disorder, often into crowds as they ran from nearby corners or patrolling radio cars and riot trucks, even as the large numbers of bystanders and passersby made it difficult to identify those responsible for thefts and violence. Attacks on white men and women continued alongside the intensifying attacks on property, with incidents of violence reaching as far south as 116th Street, where Puerto Rican-owned businesses were the targets, and north of 135th Street, where more of the businesses were Black-owned. After midnight, Lenox Avenue saw the greatest concentration of violence and looting. The crowds on the street began to disperse after 2:30 AM, athough isolated outbreaks of looting and violence continued for another three hours.
