...gangs of black youths who were menacing black and white passersby. The bullyboys turned on the cops and stewards, showering them with stones, bricks and bottles. Then an order went out: "Move forward! Plenty of noise, lads." Phalanxes of goggled police, whooping and beating their 5-ft. plastic riot shields with batons, charged through mobs of petrified teenagers. When the battle ended half an hour later, the day's injuries totaled 233, including 170 police. Scotland Yard tallied 56 arrests for the two-day carnival, most of them young blacks...

Last summer, during a civil rights march there, 16 citizens and 16 police were injured in the ensuing riot. Lately crowds of up to 1,500 beer-swigging white youths have swarmed around the park, brandishing baseball bats, stones and bottles, and attacking black motorists. Most black leaders have given up attempts to integrate the park...
