A Maryland neighborhood has been terrorized by violent attacks on white residents at the hands of a black man who has now been caught – but not charged with hate crimes.
Three attacks in under a week have resulted in injuries so severe that it will take plastic surgery to properly fix the wounds caused to the face of one 25-year-old male victim, according to Baltimore’s CBS affiliate WJZ.
While walking home from his lifeguard job at Otterbein Swim Club Thursday evening in the Federal Hill neighborhood, the victim was attacked by three African-American teenagers who allegedly yelled “Hey, white boy!” before they threw a large rock at his face.
After the rock hit the white victim, suspect Sidney Joyner, 19, tried to stab him with a pocket knife, but the man dodged the blade.
Joyner was found later by police after the attack and was charged with armed robbery, robbery and two counts of assault.
Officers also charged Joyner in another robbery and assault not related to this attack.
The victim’s family is outraged Joyner was not charged with a hate crime, according to the report.
