Crowd Severely Beats Pickup Driver Who Stopped After Hitting Boy, 10 --Paper gives no race even though perps at large

Detroit Free Press, Apr. 3, 2014

A motorist is in critical condition after being beaten by a large group of people on the city’s east side after his truck struck an 10-year-old boy today, Detroit police said.

“He got his,” said one witness to the beating who declined to give her name. “He got beat up real bad.”

Sgt. Michael Woody said officers believe the driver pulled over to check on the child after he was hit around 4:10 p.m. He was then assaulted by people in the neighborhood near Morang and Balfour streets.


“Our chief indicated there was a large group of approximately 30 or more people,” Woody said. “But that’s not to say they all took part in the assault, but they did come out to assist the child, and it was a large group at that time. They could have been from that large group.”
