BALTIMORE (Map, News) - As Sarah Kreager, 26, tried to sit down on a Baltimore City bus Tuesday, police say, a middle-schooler told her she couldn’t. When she attempted to take another seat, a middle-schooler wouldn’t let her. Finally, according to police, Kreager just sat down.

She was “immediately attacked” by nine students — three females and six males — from Robert Poole Middle School. They punched and kicked her at 2:59 p.m. at the intersection of 33rd Street and Chestnut Avenue, according to Maryland Transit Administration police.

Kreager was dragged off the bus and her boyfriend, Troy Ennis, attempted to get her back on, police said.

She sustained “serious injuries” and had to be transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to a police report.

Kreager suffered two broken bones in her left eye socket, police said.

“She had eye muscles that were damaged,” a police report states. “She had deep lacerations on the top of her head and another above her neck.”

Two seats and the bus’ rear glass were destroyed during the attack, police said.

The bus driver on the No. 27 line quickly called police, who responded and arrested the nine juveniles, said Jawauna Greene, an MTA police spokeswoman.

All nine suspects, ages 14 and 15, were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Their bus tickets — provided by the school — have been revoked, Greene said.

“Riding the bus is a privilege,” she said. “Public safety is our primary concern.”

Greene said the investigation into the incident was ongoing and she didn’t know whether the attack had anything to do with the victim’s race.

The suspects in the incident are black. The victim is white, according to the police report.

Baltimore resident David Briggs, who lives near the crime scene, said the incident underscores Baltimore’s pervasive crime.

“Now, I can't even ride the bus,” he said.

Oh boy, here we go again. WTF! I have a question and NO' I'm not afraid to ask, but what if, just what if Obama actually won presidency! Would all of this shit stop or would it get worse? Just asking, since someone brought up a racially violent act again. I'm really getting sick of this shit!!!

Funny how black people are attacking whites and nobody cares yet if it's the other way around its "OMG whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." All acts of violence need to be taken seriously, regardless of race.

people care... it's disgraceful no matter what the race is... it's a fact of life man... people are gonna hate on others because of the color of their skin... it's just a matter of how you were brought up, sad statement on society but it is what it is... i don't think there's anyone here who hasn't at least experienced racism in their own lives at 1 point or another, white, black, asian, latino, or whatever race you are... friggn' disgraceful how these kids think this is acceptable social behavior in this day & age.

Can anyone tell me what was this deal of sitting down on the bus ?

Was it that simple or did they leave something out just to get a rise out of the readers of this article.

Wasn't the boyfriend with her ?


Did it take all of the kids to beat her.

Did she provoke the beating.

Was the kid in some crazy gang?

Too many questions for me to comment yet.

BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Students disputed the police version of Tuesday’s brutal assault of a 26-year-old woman on a Baltimore City bus and claimed the “victim” started the fight and used the “N” word.

Robert Poole Middle School students who were on the No. 27 bus around 3 p.m. Tuesday say Sarah Kreager and her boyfriend provoked nine students in an attack that left her with broken bones in the left eye socket and other head injuries.

Sarah Kreager could not be reached for comment. Court records show Kreager is awaiting trial on drug-related charges.



Riding home from school Thursday, Kevin Johnson, 14, said the adults started the fight.

“We all ride the bus together and nothing happens,” he told The Examiner.
Kreager has been placed in a witness protection program, after a cousin of one of the accused sent her a threatening message at the homeless shelter where Kreager is known to stay, the source said.

One of the students, Britny Carter, 14, told The Sun that Kreager spat at one of the other girls in the group and race was not a factor in the attack.

Britny, an eighth-grader, said students had been staring at Kreager, making fun of the fact she had a black eye, which angered Kreager and prompted her to spit.

"And then everybody on the bus started fighting," Britny said.

Britny's mother, Monalisa Carter, said the attack wasn't a hate crime.

"That's so untrue," Carter said. "I did not raise her that way. Britny is not a racial person. She has white friends, black friends; she gets along with everybody."

Sarah Kreager 26 is staying at a homless shelter, and is going to trial for drug related charges and the kids claimed they were making fun and staring at her black eye that she apparently alread had before the fight and she got angry at them and spit and used a racial slur hmmmm

So do you really know what happened ?

So someone spits on you and you beat them down to near death 6-on-1? No.

Unfortunately these people are using their race as an advantage to lie about their wrongdoings. It's easy to say a homeless woman called them the "n" word because everyone would believe them. Hell, homeless or not, people would then believe the other race. I think it's sad and cowardly that they hide behind their race to do these kind of violent acts.

I doubt the kids beat her up as bad as the pictures looked. also I don't think it would have took that many to beat her up.

They said she had a black eye before the fight. Do you know who gave it to her ?

What would you do if some homless person spit on you ...seriously and mouthed off while doing it.

They're homeless. I'd probably push them to the floor and they'd sit there and cry. Either way, I wouldn't tell 8 more of my friends to beat the hell out of here. Yeah, I'm sure it's "not as bad as the picture looks" even though the article clearly states she was taken to the emergency room because of the damage she suffered.

They said she had the black eye before she had the fight.

Somebody is trying to get paid i think and will try and sue. HA HA

Why are you trying so hard to defend these kids? If they were white and the victim was black would you be doing the same thing?

And dont forget she had broken bones in her face. Must take a real tough guy to beat a woman 9 on 1. Her boyfriend must be a real piece of work too, she gets her ass whooped and hes fine. What a pussy

I wonder if the boyfriend or someone at the shelter was the one that gave her the black eye?

I am not trying to defend those kids, I think it's a he said she said type of case.

If the kids gave her the black eye and broke bones in her eye socket , they should be punished severaly for it.

The fact is, as it turns out, 'nobody really knows what happened'. It's all hype at this point. Let's be an example and not talk about this anymore. If it doesn't pay the rent, then it doesn't matter. Right?

If this kind of stuff will took place in Russia it will be another 10 people coming over and beat the sheet of these kids regardless of the color or whatever.
Then police will come into the picture and beat the sheet of these kids again professionally.
Everybody will make sure that if next time they will want to beat somebody they will think twice.
It works perfectly.

I definately care because when shit like this happens it just crystalizes the pre determined stereotypes that black people have to live with. I am a proud African American. I hate seeing and hearing stupid shit like this. I don't condone violence or racism on any race. It just happens that a good portion of my race is the only race that embrace disgrace...and its fuckin sad.
