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

William Brown injured

Around 2.30AM, William Brown, a twenty-year-old man of unknown race was injured by flying glass at Lenox Avenue and West 127th Street. Outbreaks of looting and violence occurred on the blocks of Lenox Avenue north of 125th Street from about 1.30AM. Brown lived some distance to the south of where he was injured, at 26 West 118th Street, an area of mixed black and Puerto Rican residences.

Hospital admission records and lists of the injured in the New York Post and New York Evening Journal agreed that Brown suffered lacerations to his leg, although they disagreed on which leg. He was attended by a physician from Harlem Hospital, likely in the emergency room, and then sent to the hospital, indicating a relatively severe injury. The others injured by flying glass were sent home.
