Mob Attacks New York Quarantine on Staten Island
An organized mob of about a thousand men attacked the Staten Island Quarantine complex at night. They burned hospital buildings for yellow fever and smallpox patients, destroyed walls, and forcibly removed the sick as harbor police and doctors fought to defend the premises. One harbor employee was wounded, and efforts to quell the mob failed as fires raged through the facilities.
