You couldn’t make this up. A bloodied DeAndre Harris, seen here being led away after the mob attack, is the subject of an arrest warrant for maliciously wounding his horde of attackers in this same confrontation
Two men, 33-year-old Alex Michael Ramos and 18-year-old Daniel Borden were charged with malicious wounding in September in the attack against Harris., despite the video showing a sustained attack by more than two men.
DeAndre’s attorney, Merritt, said it was ‘highly unusual’ for a victim to go to the magistrate instead of the police, suggesting he tried and failed to convince cops to arrest Harris first. The police don’t have sufficient probable cause to charge Harris, his lawyer said.
‘We find it highly offensive and upsetting, but what’s more jarring is that he’s been charged with the same crime as the men who attacked him,’ Merritt said.
Harris was left with a concussion, abrasions and contusions across his body, as well as a head laceration that required 10 staples, a knee injury and a fractured wrist after the clash, Merritt said.
Merritt said he is making arrangements with police for Harris to surrender.
