December 29, 1987:

Another racial attack has occurred, this time in the Bath Beach section of Brooklyn on Christmas day. The police said that at least a half-dozen white youths attacked two brothers, both black, called Steven LaMont (31) and his brother Sylvester (29). ‘They were coming from all angles like a wolf-pack, rearing over cars, dodging in between cars, coming from behind vans, in front of vans,’ said Steven LaMont. ‘They were coming at us like a mob. And all they wanted to do was hurt us, hurt or kill.’ Their lawyer, C Vernon Mason said, that the incident was rooted in what he called a climate of radical division and animosity that has been fostered by Mayor Edward Koch. One youth has been arrested so far in this latest racial attack in New York.^190.
