Wharton man with disabilities beaten and robbed by 6 juveniles, police say

WHARTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Six juveniles are facing charges after a person with disabilities was beaten and robbed, according to Wharton police.

Darrell Norman Williams told Eyewitness News he was riding his bike on Easter Sunday night when a group of boys approached and began hurling objects at him.

"The dudes were just chucking bottles at me and rocks and stuff," Williams said.

Williams said the boys eventually knocked him to the ground. Video recorded by one of his attackers shows them kicking and punching him as he tries in vain to block the blows.

"They kicked him all in his head and all in his gut, all of that. They literally took the bottom half of his pants down and ripped them apart," Diondre Brown, who's cared for Williams for nearly 15 years, said.

"They took his bike, they took his shoes," he said.

Police said the video of the attack was sent to them four days later. On Tuesday, they announced they had identified all six of Williams' attackers: juveniles ages 12 to 14.

"They treated him like a piece of trash," said Brown.

"I do nothing to them. I said nothing to them," said Williams.

Police said 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.

Because they're underage, their names aren't being released.
