FLUSHING, New York City—Another pro-communist supporter was arrested by police in Flushing on August 1 for his involvement in the Chinese communist regime’s violence. To date, 14 have been arrested since mid-May, the beginning of the Flushing incident.

A man who had participated in the Flushing violence, upon being recognized, fled into a pharmacy in Flushing on August 1. After receiving a witness' report, Flushing’s 109th Precinct police arrived shortly thereafter and arrested the man.

According to Falun Gong practitioner Edmond Erh, the man was involved when Erh was beaten and his right ear injured on May 20. New York police arrested two accomplices that day, but unfortunately this man escaped at that time.

According to witnesses, he has violently beaten and threatened Falun Gong practitioners with death on several occasions. He apparently is also very actively involved and is one of the main participants in the communist regime’s orchestrated and premeditated violence in Flushing.

Mr. Erh told the Epoch Times reporter, “The police filed the case against this man based on a photo and video provided by Falun Gong practitioners.” Mr. Erh also went to the police station to provide additional detailed information. He believes the man should not be charged for a normal criminal offense, but a hate crime. He went on to say, “The whole purpose of the Flushing violence is to incite hatred and attack a group for their belief.”

Among the 14 arrested pro-communist accomplices, one has pleaded guilty and was punished with a fine and payment for the victim’s financial loss (camera). Three others have been fined. The others are awaiting their hearings.
