Ten alleged members of the notorious Gambino organized crime family and a member of the Sicilian Mafia are accused in a racketeering conspiracy alleging years of extortions and assaults that included a hammer attack, a beatdown in midtown Manhattan, a threat with a metal baseball bat and arson, authorities said.

A 16-count indictment charges 10 men with racketeering conspiracy, extortion, witness retaliation, and union-related crimes committed trying to dominate the New York carting and demolition industries, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
