What Was Once Just Really Annoying Will Now Rob You, Too
It’s like The Warriors meets West Side Story:
Posted: May 28th, 2009 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Law & Order, The Screenwriter's Idea Bag, What Will They Think Of Next?, You're Kidding, Right?A subway dance troupe turned militant on May 25 when the dancers viciously mugged a 22-year-old straphanger on the J train.
The violent attack began when the victim started conversing with the dancers after they finished an acrobatic performance near the Lorimer Street stop at around 3:40 am.
That’s when one of the perps asked the victim if he would like to “see something mesmerizing.”
The victim said yes, so the perp pulled himself into the air on the train’s metal bars and unleashed a powerful kick to the victim’s chest. Two other dancers then joined in the attack and started punching and kicking the victim in the head and body.
The victim called out to the other two dancers for help, but his pleas only convinced the other performers to join in the walloping.
Eventually, one of the perps demanded that the victim hand over his belongings.
