Colin Flaherty author of Don't Make the Black Kids Angry commentary news video - Ex-Guardian Angel describes attack in Fells Point black mob on white crime violence assaults beat down punch kick on ground
BALTIMORE (WBFF) – An Annapolis man and former Baltimore Guardian Angel is recovering after he says he was attacked in Fells Point Sunday afternoon.
Michael O’Hara said he and his wife Grace were leaving dinner at The Choptank when they noticed a fight off the property.
“I walked literally into a fight starting and they had just hit this guy I guess he was 45 years old or somewhere in that area,” he said.
Security footage captured O’Hara, a former Baltimore Guardian Angel who volunteered with the non-profit for five years doing unarmed crime prevention, instinctively jumping in to help.
“Guardian Angel stuff kicks in. I tried to diffuse the situation saying back off guys this isn’t worth it, and as I looked to the right my wife was trying to call 911 and one of the boys had grabbed her,” he said. “That’s when I switched and ran over and knocked him off of her.”
O’Hara says the suspects then knocked him to the ground and beat him sending him to the hospital.
O’Hara says he's still shocked by what happened and upset no one stepped in to help him.
“Nobody really helped us which was kind of shocking. I think everybody is upset that the security guards at The Choptank did absolutely nothing, they basically told us to go away,” he said. “As an officer you need to come help."
