BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A violent attack in what’s considers one of the city’s safest neighborhoods. Now police have made an arrest in the brutal robbery in Canton that left one man severely injured.
Investigators say they were able to identify the suspect after he was caught on surveillance camera using the victim’s credit card.
Mustafa Eraibi, 19, could spend the rest of his life behind bars, accused in a violent attack in Canton.
“Now today, for the Canton area, you can sleep well. This guy is in custody,” said Commissioner Anthony Batts, Baltimore City Police Department.
Baltimore Sun Editor John Fogg was walking from his car to his home when investigators say Eraibi approached him, indicating he had a gun. Fogg turned over his car keys, but was beaten over the head with a brick anyway.
“It happened so close to home. It was kind of a shock to the community,” said Natalie diFrancesco, General Manager of nearby restaurant The Chasseur.
Police say Eraibi has a lengthy criminal history.
nvestigators are now looking into whether Eraibi could be linked to any other crimes in the community. That includes another carjacking a week earlier, where a man was attacked with a flower pot.
“If he remotely matches, we’ll show photo lineups to see if we can charge him with other incidents, said Major Dennis Smith, Baltimore City Police Department.
Jon Fogg suffered six skull fractures and lost at least eight teeth. A fundraising website for his recovery has raised nearly $30,000.
“My hope for him is that he just feels like there’s a community that’s supporting him,” said Canton resident Caroline Mason.
On February 5, several Canton restaurants, including The Chasseur, will donate a portion of their proceeds to Fogg’s recovery.
“We were like, ‘What can we do to help?’ Anything he needs, we’re there,” said diFrancesco.
In a blog about the incident, Fogg writes he has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support.
Mustafa Eraibi is facing multiple charges, including attempted first and second-degree murder.
In his blog, Fogg, a sports editor, writes of his attacker: “He thought he was targeting one person, but what he failed to realize was that he was going after all of Baltimore. And Baltimore has always been known for defense.”

Surprise, he is a Democrap.
Carry Concealed.
Don’t be a victim.
Screw the oppressive left’s unconstitutional contraints.
How much did Mr. Fogg's left-wing propaganda contribute to the legal climate that let this thug walk around free?
A poster to the Sun's website wrote:
September 11, 2012 I am a subscriber and read The Sun every day, and I force myself to review The Sun's editorials and commentaries. I do this to stay informed about the oppressive activities of the ever present liberal government leadership in this beautiful state. Two articles written by Susan Reimer and Paul Jaskunas ("Presidential campaign 'legitimately' toxic?" and "A false self-reliance") in the Friday, August 24th edition of The Sun are examples of the typical political climate that is alive and well in Maryland. These articles are proof that Maryland is totally liberal with absolutely no respect or tolerance for opposing opinions such as those presented by the GOP. With what I read in your editorials and commentaries, I plan to move out of Maryland after I retire in two years.
I would like to extend my deepest, most sarcastic thanks to Martin Owe’Malley and the Maryland Legisl00ture for continuing to ensure that Mr. Fogg could not carry a gun.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
This is all too disgustingly common. This 19 year old needs to stay in prison till death, and find Jesus there, maybe take on a prison ministry. Or the blood of his next victim, who might wake up dead, is on the hands of those who neglected to isolate this punk from good citizens.

But then only criminals will carry assault bricks.
