Report of Dragging Attack Is 3rd in Week

In the third such incident reported in a week, a black man told authorities he was dragged alongside a car by three white men who taunted him with racial epithets. The incident comes after a black man was dragged to death behind a pickup in Jasper, Texas, and a black teenager in Belleville, Ill., reported he was dragged alongside a truck driven by three white youths yelling racial slurs. In Slidell, Cornelius Weaver, 23, was treated at a local hospital for scrapes and bruises sustained when he slipped free from his attackers.
