One Arrest Made in Brutal Beating of Pratt Student

081209clintonhill.jpg Detectives from the 88th Precinct have arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with last week’s assault on Eddy Sanchez, a 22-year-old Pratt architecture student who is still in critical condition in a medically induced coma at Kings County Hospital Center. The suspect, Eugene Adams, is charged with assault, robbery and criminal possession of stolen property. A police source tells The Local Adams resides at 1100 Bedford Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, three long blocks east from the site of the August 4th attack at Grand and Lexington Avenues in Clinton Hill. After releasing surveillance footage of teens attempting to use Sanchez's ATM card at a bodega, police tracked down Adams through a tip called in to the Crime-Stoppers hot line, (800) 577-TIPS. According to ABC News, as many as four other teens may have been involved in the attack, but no other arrests were immediately made. It's being reported that the suspects beat Sanchez after he refused to give them money, and one of the assailants used a crowbar.

    If he had been riding a bike while beating Sanchez it would have been attempted murder. In all other cases, it qualifies as assault....it's called the "Patrick Pogan" rule.

    Looks like Gus over there in Harlem knows how it's done. He should run for governor to replace the admitted adulterous pig you now have. Here in the deep south, we have had a resurrection of sorts by a certain empire once thought to be dead. The word is getting around. You guys in the north need to get your mess together and take back what is rightfully yours. Your government has disarmed you and left you as easy prey.

  • MrCow

    i'm a pratt student and we didn't get any email from pratt until the 11th.

    before the internet the racist posters/trolls on gothamist would've had their audience limited to the unfortunate people passing by who are in earshot.

  • dadoc

    Yep, I was right. Glad I decided to get a good night's sleep for what has been a busy day. Just missed the customary goat-buggering, your mama, you guys are loney, feed the goose stuff. And Felix, knock off the racist crap with me. You have no idea how many folk of every race, country, creed, orientation or disability I tried to help today. Mutual respect all around, everybody treated the same. Everybody (including me), just being people with people. Even vegans & cat people!

  • Snoopy

    Oh that's right he left out Nannystate (the person who realized felixthecat2 was a feline feeder of great proportions and is only second to the cat lady at the pyramid of Cestius in Rome) in his list of individuals. Such a silly boy he is. Probably caused by thinking up other ideas on how to get rid of geese without getting rid of them.

    The behavior exhibited by these so called "people" can only be attributed to their crude instinct which tells their brain "there is helpless prey let's attack forthwith." Civilized man has learned to supress the violent instinctual urge "to gets mines at all costs, yo." Certain aspects of our society have yet to develop the ability to resist that instinct and therefore have more in common with animals than they do with humans.

    Damn, Snoopy is so RACIST, stop giving Snoopy a bad name. He is a great dog and you are an old frustrated old man. Brown Bag will solve your frustrations.

  • Snoopy

    "an old frustrated old man" Can you describe in English what that combination of "old" means?

  • felixthecat2

    I see the old white frustrated white men were here last night patting each other on the backs instead of their wives. LMFAO

  • Snoopy

    One other thing. Can you explain to us what are "old white frustrated white men?" It's the double white thing I don't understand.

  • Snoopy

    Shouldn't you be out in the rain feeding geese or horses? Leave the regular discussions to people that think, rather than react always in a PC bullshit way.

    The thugs were black plain and simple. Do you have a problem with calling a spade a spade? Or do you call them the other black cards in the deck?

    If the Afro American culture doesn't like them being profiled then they should come out loud and clear in their neighborhoods every time one of their spawn fucks up.

    Plus get a job you PC girlie man.

  • valeriob

    listen here goat fucker. don't come out of left field sniping away half-witted remarks and consider having won the comment battle. You're lucky I'm even reading this and that I don't have enough common sense not to reply.

    And we did plenty of patting last night, told your mom we might wake you up, but i guess you slept right through the train. Choo choo!

  • felixthecat2

    :Goat fucker? Dude, you moms isn't a goat but a cow.

  • tmz is evil

    Hey, Gothamist,

    How do you feel now that your blog has become a hangout for every racist, embittered malcontent, and asshole on the planet-- just like Curbed.com used to before it banned anonymous posting? I bet your advertisers are very pleased that these are the types of readership you're attracting.

    But money is money, right? Who cares who it's from?

  • TheeMayor

    You are a disgrace to your race.

  • felixthecat2

    Yep, Snoopy, Valeriob, DaDoc and Bernie, all a bunch of frustrated lonely racists.

  • NannyState

    As opposed to felixthecat2 who enjoys the company of his 122 cats in his small cramped Inwood studio filled with excrement and newspapers with the Mayor's picture cut out of them.

  • valeriob

    While you may not see color, I see a small group of black teenagers in the video. Why avoid race for the sake of political correctness?

  • Bernie Madoff-Goetz

    Maybe if this wasn't such a longstanding problem in this city--roving bands of black teens beating the life out of people for a few bucks, an iPod or whatever--people wouldn't be quite so emotional about the issue. And yes, drop the handful of white-on-black examples if you want--they don't equate to even 1/100th of the black-on-white crimes of this type. Individuals such as yourself either live far, far away from where any of this shit happens or right next door and are so overcome by white guilt you've basically turned into a priest. Either way, STFU.
