Bullet points of Black man details alleged beating at the hands of a white supremacist group in Boston
- Charles Murrell III, a Black teacher and musician, testified in federal court that he was attacked by members of a white nationalist hate group, Patriot Front, in Boston two years ago.
- The attack was described as a 'coordinated, brutal, and racially motivated attack' and left Murrell with lacerations that required stitches.
- Murrell was playing his saxophone near the Boston Public Library when he was surrounded and attacked by the group.
- The group, which was largely dressed alike in khaki pants, dark shirts, hats, sunglasses, and face coverings, carried a banner that said 'Reclaim America' as they marched along the Freedom Trail.
- Murrell believes he was targeted because of the tone of their voices and the slurs they used when he encountered them.
- The lawsuit is seeking an undisclosed amount of money from the group's leader, Thomas Rousseau, and is aimed at holding Patriot Front accountable and preventing similar attacks in the future.
