White man who wanted to 'harm' blacks arrested after NYC stabbing
By Jonathan Allen | NEW YORK
A white man who traveled to New York City to harm black people turned himself in with knives in his pocket at a Manhattan police station on Wednesday, police said, a day after police say he fatally stabbed a black man in an attack on a sidewalk.
James Harris Jackson, 28, told police he left his home in Baltimore on Friday and took the bus to New York "because it is the media capital of the world and he wanted to make a statement," Bill Aubrey, a deputy chief at the New York Police Department, told reporters.
On Monday night, Jackson crossed paths with Timothy Caughman, a black man who was rummaging through garbage on a sidewalk in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, according to the police account.
A few minutes later, Caughman, 66, staggered into a nearby police station, bleeding from stab wounds to his chest and back. Caughman was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
