The leader of the Black Lives Matter New York City chapter on Monday turned himself in amid allegations of assaulting a Black man during a political rally last week \u2013 while speaking about the “Black faces of systemic oppression” and comparing himself to Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n

Hawk Newsome was spotted in Harlem as he sought to surrender to authorities, the New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

He is accused of punching Manhattan Democratic District Leader William Allen as the protest descended into chaos Friday afternoon, sources told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Newsome was with several activists when they swarmed Councilman Yusef Salaam\u2019s Harlem office to object to a nonprofit leader having her community funding yanked.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he went to the New York Police Department<\/a>\u2019s 28th Precinct to voluntarily surrender to police. While speaking to supporters, Newsome compared himself to civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. as he criticized the charges against him.<\/p>\n

“Recognize this as a step in the right direction. Not only do we fight racism \u2014 systemic, Black racism \u2014 we fight the Black faces of systemic oppression,” he said, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

“Martin Luther King Jr. got locked up<\/a> 26 times. Right? Twenty-six times for this. This is a sign that we are fighting,” Newsome continued.<\/p>\n

“This person is saying that I hit him, but there\u2019s no video evidence of that. There are 30 cameras out there. Nobody has a video of that. The only thing that was hurt was his pride.”<\/p>\n

Newsome\u2019s supporters also claimed the charges were “trumped up” and “politically motivated.”<\/p>\n

In a statement to the newspaper, Tiffany Fulton, executive director of Silent Voices United Inc., \u2013 a group that recently had its funding cut \u2013 accused others of inciting the chaos during the demonstration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“To see this kind of political weaponization in Harlem is heartbreaking,” Fulton said in a statement to the newspaper. “We are witnessing firsthand how speaking truth to power comes with consequences when the system feels threatened.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
