FROM NEW YORK POST: A 14-year-old accused of being the young thug filmed viciously beating up a 66-year-old usher at an NBA Youngboy concert has been charged with felony assault.
The teen, who has not been identified because of his age, was first arrested soon after the attack on Thomas Schlange at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City on Oct. 17, before being charged this week, Fox 4 News reported.
Schlange said he had just asked the boy to move, because he wasn’t in his assigned seat — just for the teen to toss him into a row of seats and unleash a barrage of punches.
Schlange was pleased with the decision to charge the teen because “accountability is important.”
A GoFundMe account was set up for Schlange by his grandson and has raised over $13,000 so far. A message on the account reads:
We are asking for help for the physical damage my grandfather Thomas Schlange for the physical bodily damage he suffered at a concert at T-Mobile center on Sunday 9/21. He was attacked by a young guest, after being asked to sit at his own seat, while being in the wrong one. He won’t be able to work, he also have glaucoma and one of his eyes may suffer more damage later on. We are devastated for the injustice of this person and other attendees that didn’t stop that guy at all.
