Mark, the brother of New Kid on the Block Donnie Wahlberg, is scheduled to appear in a Boston court on March 2 to answer charges that he broke the jaw of security guard Robert Crehan, 20, in an unprovoked attack at a public tennis court near Mark's old stomping grounds last summer. But before he could defend himself in that case, the singer had to contend with the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence, a New York City-based group that was organizing a rally in Times Square last week to protest an incident from Mark's lesser-known past.
In the spring of 1988, Mark was charged with assaulting two Vietnamese men on a Dorchester street. According to official records, he beat one with a wooden pole and punched the other in the face, later calling them "slant-eyed gooks." Mark said his attack was not racially motivated, but rather the act of "a foolish kid" who was trying to steal a case of beer from one of his victims. "I denounce racial violence of all kinds," Mark said last week in a statement. At the time, though, prosecutors said that the beating "demonstrated a continuing pattern of terrorizing people of color" and noted that two years earlier Mark had gotten in trouble for taunting and throwing rocks at black elementary-school children, shouting. "Kill the ******s!" Ultimately, Mark received a two-year suspended sentence for the 1988 incident and served 45 days in jail.
