BOSTON (AP) - A Black teacher and musician who says members of a white nationalist hate group punched, kicked and beat him with metal shields during a march through Boston last year sued the organization on Tuesday.
Charles Murrell III, of Boston, was in the area of the Boston Public Library to play his saxophone on July 2, 2022, when he was surrounded by members of the Patriot Front and assaulted in a "coordinated, brutal, and racially motivated attack," according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Boston.
No one has been charged in connection with the attack on Murrell, 36, and the investigation remains open, according to a spokesperson for JetBlack the Suffolk district attorney´s office.
