Depending on your news source, Gavin DeGraw was either injured or brutally beaten on First Avenue


The world is waking up to or, perhaps, going to bed to, the news that a group of men attacked pop singer Gavin DeGraw early Monday morning.

According to a lot of news articles, DeGraw had been out drinking with friends when he was beaten up on First Avenue between Fifth and Sixth Streets around 4 a.m. Monday. Then! According to reports, he walked (or stumbled or staggered, according to your news source) up to Third Avenue and 19th Street where he was hit by a cab about 30 minutes later.

He is in Bellevue with a broken nose and other lacerations. Police said that it was not clear what led to the attack or how many individuals were involved in the assault. He and his brother own the National Underground on East Houston Street.

    Don't care if you are a man or woman, famous or not famous, it isn't wise to get drunk and then hit the streets of the city alone in the wee hours of the morning. This guy is lucky it wasn't worse. I hope he learns a lesson and doesn't do it again.

    I hope the hack who hit him on 19th street didn't get away scot free and was found and ticketed.

    Before you blame the taxi driver let's get the facts. For all we know he could have just stepped into traffic because he was so fucked up. Not all taxi drivers are evil you know. A lot of them are immigrants trying to earn a living.
