Police say they've arrested two men in connection with a recent crime spree in the West Village, which left one woman with a broken jaw and other residents of the quaint neighborhood feeling terrorized. An NYPD source tells the Post that Adam Temple, 21, of Hampton Place in Brooklyn, and Anthony Lindsay, 30, of Park Place in Brooklyn, were arrested late last night. The two are suspected of perpetrating violent muggings which targeted mostly white women; in each incident the victim was approached from behind by two males, hit and then mugged. Last week City Council Speaker Christine Quinn sent an email to residents warning them to remain alert and to beware of "strangers asking for directions."

Haven't there also been a string of muggings on park place, where one of the muggers actually lives?
this is a relief.
Good job, NYPD. All it takes it motivation.
Now if the city council would turn their attention to crime in neighborhoods where wealthy people don't live, we'll be all set.
"It's Christmas in Rikers,
There's great films on TV...
'The Sound of Music' twice an hour
And 'Jaws' I, II, and III."
Since the news story makes the point that all of the victims were white, I am guessing this is relevant and that therefore these 2 chaps are not white. Great, another step forward for race relations in NYC.
maybe people should stop mugging other people.
i think that would be a step forward for the human race.
wow, the nypd actually arrested some criminals & without anally raping them either! kudos nypd.
And now we have to pay to house these animals in Rikers, just like the handouts they were probably already getting from welfare and housing projects. How about we lower the tax rate and instead just bill us for the two bullets you need, one behind each of these subhumans ears and then dump them in an unmarked mass grave somewhere in east new york. When its full of others like them, bill us for the dirt.
Well done, NY's (usually) Finest.
Hmm...I've seen this before.
Are these men really the ones or are they being used to shut the media up and take heat off the cops?
not a lot of details except we got two guys.
then rehash of previous muggings.
maybe more info will come out but now it's a 5 sec blurb on the noon news.
criminals pray to be anally raped by the cops. Can you imagine getting sympathy and money from being scumbags all their lifes?
Too bad they didn't reach inside their jackets for something. 2 bullets through the head would have been a lot cheaper than housing them at Rikers.
Oops, can't blame it on PATH anymore.
Nope, just blame the W 4th Street station and all the trash it deposits from the shittiest parts of Brooklyn.
YES NYPD. That is a picture of my block. You can imagine how happy I am to hear about them arresting them. I was mugged right in front of my apt 4 years ago. It was terrible. I was strangled from behind and then passed out. West Village is appealing to muggers because the streets are so quiet and not many cars come by.
Well done. I can now walk home and feel a bit safer.
Don't be so happy yet... They have the wrong guy. At least one of them!
I am sure because I know for a fact he was not out that night. He was being employeed at my house in the east village. So as a White Female Home owner in the East Village. I am pretty sure they are still out there....
The plot thickens...
Someone please put a wallet on some fishing line and see if we can get one to chase it into a cage.
