Man Beaten Over Chat Rift
Reuters - 12:50pm 7.Jul.98.PDT


SOUTH BRUNSWICK, New Jersey -- An online
argument exploded into offline violence when a
group of men allegedly went to the home of an
America Online chat room participant and beat
him with a baseball bat.

The men had been arguing for several weeks in the
AOL forum. As the argument heated up, several
men learned the home address of one man. They
drove to his house on 10 June and beat him with
the bat when he answered his front door, police
said today.

"We still do not know exactly what they argued
about, but the victim got somebody very angry,"
said Lt. Ron Schmalz.

The 22-year-old victim, who was not identified, was
hospitalized following the attack and later
released.

Charges of aggravated assault and weapons
possession were filed on Monday against six men,
all in their late teens or early 20s and all from New
York City. A seventh accused attacker, a
15-year-old boy, faces charges in juvenile court.

The accused men are free on US$1,000 bail each.
