ReplyDeleteHaving almost been mugged by these jerks ill say this.
ReplyDeleteThey live on 11th street between A & B and travel in a pack of three with one guy acting as a look out. They are all either puerto rican or dominican and one has a limp and is often with a cane. They will threaten a gun or knife but dont have one, and are easlly spoked if you stand up to them. Dont be stupid and try and take on all three of them, just give a polite NYC fuck you, and run or immediately scream your head off and call the cops, ho Will show up very quickly. They also operate primarely at night and go for drunks, which i was not, hence the get away.
THIS GUY LIVES AT 410 EAST 13TH STREET.
ReplyDeleteHE IS IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING DURING THE DAY AND SHOULD BE EASY TO APPREHEND
