Black Lives Matter (BLM) Greater New York co-founder Hawk Newsome surrendered to police on Monday morning after being hit with felony assault charges for a local feud in Harlem that allegedly turned violent last week.
Dozens of Newsome’s supporters gathered outside of the 28th Precinct in Central Harlem at around 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 27 to watch the activist turn himself over to cops on second-degree assault charges.
Newsome is accused of punching Democratic District Leader William Allen and throwing a megaphone at him on Oct. 23 during a rally outside of Council Member Yusef Salaam’s office on West 125th Street. Newsome was leading a rally against the elected official after Salaam pulled funding from a nonprofit organization run by an acquaintance of the activist.
