A man who retaliated for an alleged assault on his brother by attacking a Teaneck High School student with a bat was charged Friday with criminal trespass, police said.
Kimathi Knox, 19, also known as Kimathi Muhammad, was released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond, said Detective Lt. William Broughton, who added that police are considering other charges against him.
On Thursday, Knox, of Griggs Avenue, hit the 16-year-old student on the right arm with an aluminum baseball bat but did not injure him, police said. He pulled a fire alarm to get students to the school parking lot, where the attack occurred, a vice principal said.
The night before, two 16-year-old high school students, one of whom was Knox’s brother, were attacked by other Teaneck students as they got off a school bus returning from a basketball game, police said.
Charges may be brought against the youths identified as the attackers, Broughton said. The victim of Thursday’s assault was identified as one of the attackers in Wednesday night’s incident, police said.
