6 thugs just 12 to 14 years old accused of beating up, robbing mentally disabled man riding his bike on Easter night
Darrell Norman Williams told KTRK-TV he was riding his bike on Easter Sunday night in Wharton, Texas, when a group of boys approached him and began throwing objects at him.
“The dudes were just chucking bottles at me and rocks and stuff,” Williams, who is mentally disabled, told the station.
‘They treated him like a piece of trash.’
Williams told the station the group of boys soon knocked him to the ground.
KTRK added that one of his attackers recorded video of the brutal assault, and it shows them kicking and punching Williams as he tries unsuccessfully to block the blows.
“They kicked him all in his head and all in his gut, all of that,” Diondre Brown, who’s cared for Williams for nearly 15 years, told the station. “They literally took the bottom half of his pants down and ripped them apart.”
Brown added to KTRK that “they took his bike, they took his shoes.”
Police told the station the video of the attack was sent to them four days later, and on Tuesday, police announced they had identified all six of Williams’ attackers — and they’re all 12 to 14 years old.
“They treated him like a piece of trash,” Brown added to KTRK
Williams noted to the station that “I do nothing to them. I said nothing to them.”
Police told KTRK that four of the suspects are being held in juvenile detention while the other two were released to their parents.
They’re being charged with aggravated robbery and engaging in organized criminal activity, the station said, adding that their names aren’t being released because of their ages.
“I feel so, so sorry,” Brown told KTRK, adding that “I was sorry with myself as well because I wasn’t there to protect him when he needed me most.”
