Windows broken without arrest (52)
There are significantly more businesses with broken windows for which no one was charged than businesses that were looted, 75% compared with 55%. Most of those stores were on and around West 125th Street, the area where the disorder began, and likely suffered damage during the time when small numbers of police struggled to control crowds that had gathered in front of Kress' store. Another cluster of businesses with broken windows for which no one was arrested was on West 116th Street and the blocks of Lenox Avenue around it. The lack of arrests could indicate a lack of police presence in that area, which also was ignored in the English-language press. The damage was reported only in La Prensa, with only the arrest of Jackie Ford the day after the disorder for allegedly breaking a window in a store at 142 Lenox Avenue mentioned in the New York Post and New York World-Telegram.
