A Manhattan street erupted in anger on Monday when a man in a wheelchair was taken into custody in the killing of a young woman, whose body had been found wrapped in a blue sleeping bag days before.
Some got close enough to punch him in the face, grab his jeans and rip the back of his blue-and-yellow striped shirt.
Officers and emergency service workers held out their arms to keep the crowd at bay.
Some of the loudest screams were from Ms. Williams’s mother, Nicole Williams.
Neighbors said he and Yazmeen Williams were a couple, but the family said they were not familiar with him.
