PHILADELPHIA, PA — A 27-year-old man faces multiple charges after allegedly attacking six people as they slept outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center earlier this month, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Naeem Morgan is charged with four counts of possession of an instrument of crime, six counts each of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct, and harassment.
Investigators say video circulating online shows Morgan kicking and pushing the sleeping victims near 12th and Arch Streets while shouting at them and, in some instances, using their belongings to assault them.
The case remains under investigation by the Philadelphia Police Department.
