"I heard about a stabbing that occurred on Saturday night around 10:30 at 9th and A, just inside the park. The story I heard was that this guy was attacked by six kids while sitting on a bench near the 9th Street entrance. The kids took his iPod. In the process he was hit with a skateboard and stabbed."
According to the reader, the man made it across Avenue A, where a storeowner called for an ambulance. We have not heard any more about his condition... or if any arrests where made in this attack. Police officials did confirm this attack to another reader.

Not too long ago Slum Goddess (Eden ) was robbed of her cell phone on this same park traverse but on the other side of the park .She wasn't seriously harmed but the kids that robbed her were rough enough .
this isn't new behavior and police sources did confirm that this bloody event did happen but they did not confirm the stabbing .
At the last 9th precinct meeting, when some residents inquired about getting cameras installed in a building near their apartment that seemed to them to be a hotbed for gang and youth violence, the cop said that this issue is not a top priority for them right now.
ouch, the youtube video hurts to think about.
my kid got his jaw broke not long ago for nothing much but greed or craziness. stealing is craziness and greed.

The Youtube video looks like it's shot in Washington Square Park, not Tompkins.
That clip was shot in Washington Square Park for the Larry Clark film "Kids" (1995)
