Two armed goons mugged two women walking through the East Village early Wednesday, cops said. The women, both 30, were on East 11th Street near Avenue B at 1:15 a.m. when the men jumped them from behind, pulled out a black handgun and demanded their bags, cops said.
When the women tried to resist, one was punched in the side of the face and the other in the jaw. The muggers managed to get away with only one purse, but the women told cops that it contained a cellphone, a digital camera, $200 and several credit cards.

I wish the Daily Blotter had provided a description. If the women who were mugged read this blog, I hope they'll post more info.
ReplyDeletedon't resist the muggers! what's wrong with people?
ReplyDeleteI don't fault any woman for resisting an attacker. The girl was smart to try to defend herself. Who knows what else these thugs might have tried on them?
ReplyDeleteYup, a description would be helpful.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that happened the middle of last week, and was rumored to be one of several such attacks on that block, though details were never fully confirmed by the police, only that there were "several" recent muggings.
