Brooklyn community outraged after video shows man beating 13-year-old
A grown man pummeled a Brooklyn middle schooler after a scuffle over a basketball game, in an attack so brutal hundreds of parents took to the streets before a school board meeting this week to demand action.
Another disturbing clip showed a bystander trying to break up the attack as the assailant again knocked Brian to the ground, while a boy kicked him. The police were called and arrested Hassan Saab, 24, for allegedly attacking Brian on the basketball court and for the assault outside his home. Outraged community members are calling for maximum charges for Saab and for the criminal case against Brian’s father to be dropped.“It was self-defense, he was defending his home,” said Karlin Chan, a community activist who spoke on behalf of the family at a rally outside of PS 264 in Bay Ridge on Wednesday.“The bullying is not just happening in the school,” said Lucy Ao, who said she worries because her elementary aged kids will soon attend IS 201.
