Video of the beating of a man at Government Square on Independence Day led to the arrest of one suspect.
Raeshaun Hand, 19, is charged with felonious assault.
Police believe he’s one of the people seen on the video hitting and kicking Christopher McKnight.
McKnight suffered a concussion, a broken nose and had to get stitches.
People called for hate crime charges to be filed in the case.
Deborah Dixon spoke to Joe Deters, who doesn’t believe the beating meets the requirements of the ethnic intimidation law.
Deters said McKnight was robbed and he kept coming back, motioning as if he wanted to keep fighting.
What he was saying was, “I want my stuff back.”
Deters also said he was going after the men in that video.
If it’s felonious assault and robbery, that’s much more serious than ethnic intimidation.
Hand was arraigned on Friday, July 10.
A judge ordered him held on $100,000 bond. According to court papers, Hand admitted to participating in the assault.
