However, their community says they were defending themselves from five men who urinated on their building, and then attacked them when called out.
On Wednesday, hundreds protested outside Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office in Lower Manhattan , demanding justice for the Ong brothers ahead of their sentencing next week. The brothers are set to be sentenced for a brawl that took place in the fall of 2020 on Elizabeth Street in Little Italy. John is expected to be sentenced to two and a half years in prison, and Max to five years probation.
Punches were thrown, and the brothers, outnumbered, were seen getting pummeled. Eventually, the five men appeared to retreat down the block, but they returned. When the men came back, John ran inside, came out with a katana, and slashed one of the men in the forearm.Despite what is seen in the surveillance video, once police arrived, only the Ong brothers were arrested and charged with assault. None of the five men who attacked them were charged.
