Violence against police in Harlem in 1935
None of the assaults on police in the rest of 1935 involved officers hit by objects, as most of the assaults (6 of 9) during the disorder did, but almost half involved knives or razors (5 of 11), which did not feature in the disorder.
Just over half the assaults on police in 1935 occurred on the streets (6 of 11), as the violence in the disorder did. The incidents were scattered throughout Harlem, including several on Lenox Avenue around and south of 125th Street, where much of the disorder clustered.
