Reader report: Man arrested for carrying machete on Avenue A



Earlier this afternoon, several readers noted an arrest on Avenue A near Sixth Street... two of the residents claimed that the man who the NYPD arrested was carrying a machete. Shawn Chittle, who took this photo, was on the scene and noted that the police were not saying what happened...

@esquared..I am glad you brought this up...why bring a very violence oriented film which was never released in the US here? I was there and walked out. I was expecting a more intelligent and uplifting experience.

"why bring a very violence oriented film which was never released in the US here?" I think you answered your own question. The USA has an unlimited appetite for severe, sadistic violence whether caused remotely through heroic bombs, or virtually through media.
