Third arrest made in Coyemans gang assault

By: Web Staff

COEYMANS, N.Y. -- A third arrest has been made in connection with the beating of a Ravena man in May. Lawrence LaMountain of Troy turned himself in to police on Tuesday.

Police said the victim was having a picnic with his wife and kids at a park in Coeymans Hollow, when he was attacked by three men. It all started when the man asked them to watch their mouths around his two kids. That's when police said he was punched and kicked several times while the man's family watched.

Matthew Walker of Selkirk and Landon Keir of Coeymans Hollow were arrested in June and charged with gang assault. LaMountain turned himself in Tuesday and was arraigned and sent to Albany County Jail without bail.
