<i> United Press International</i>
NEW YORK —
A seventh white man was indicted Monday on charges stemming from a racial attack in Brooklyn that ended with the fatal shooting of a black teen-ager.
Unlike the other six defendants, Steven Curreri, 18, was not charged with murder for the Aug. 23 killing of Yusuf Hawkins.
Curreri was indicted on charges of assault, riot and criminal possession of a weapon, said Brooklyn Dist. Atty. Elizabeth Holtzman.
The indictment said Curreri was part of a bat-wielding crowd that chased Hawkins, 16, and three other young blacks.
