This is very sad news, for a group that’s done great work in contributing to Providence’s decreased crime over the last decade.
PROVIDENCE — A streetworker for the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat early yesterday as he tried to break up a disturbance that may have been gang-related outside a downtown nightclub.
Sareth “Tony” Kim, 32, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with head injuries and a stab wound to his shoulder. Three men who were with Kim — Sokha Chea, 27, Ray Min, 16, and Steven Ormerod, no age available — all suffered severe cuts and other injuries. Min, who is Kim’s nephew, was stabbed in the right arm and chest as he tried to protect his uncle, the police said.
