“We’ve seen an increasing number of group assaults where individuals have struggled to defend themselves against multiple attackers,” said Bramnick (R-21). “The violent cowards who are responsible for these gang assaults often walk away with a simple assault charge because the victim was lucky enough to avoid serious injury. Those weak charges ignore the fact that a victim is more likely to face serious injury when it’s not a fair fight and they’re being attacked from multiple directions. Our new legislation would impose a more serious third-degree aggravated assault charge any time two or more persons gang up to attack an individual.”
