Earlier this week, an unknown slasher attacked two people uptown. Yesterday, when a teenager matching the attacker's description was seen at West 189th Street, the NY Post reports that a mob of 50-100 grabbed Jeffrey Jimenez, bringing him to one of the victim's, Yely Valerio, who then positively ID'd him. Then the mob dragged him to the police, in a show of community solidarity. However, they beat him "viciously." While Gothamist likes citizen patrolling, the beating is going a little too far.

Dunno about that--seems that a bit of mob justice was dished out.
NYPOST: "A furious mob delivered some hard-core street justice in the form of a vicious beating to a teenager who allegedly slashed a pretty young woman earlier this week, witnesses said yesterday."
Thanks, keep... when I started to write the post, I knew I had seen the "vicious" part but then when I got into the story, there was less detail about it. My attempts to regain an Internet connection got me distracted.
I'm sure that when it all comes down to it, it'll be discovered that the kid, while being transported to the police station, fell down 50 or 60 times. All by himself. And no-one saw him do it, either...
