Naked Fight Breaks Out On DUMBO Streets

090410borat.jpg Even though most of the time the phrase "Only in New York" is "just a defense mechanism used to convince [ourselves] that seeing a naked man take a shit on a park bench is somehow endearing, or part of some shared cultural experience," there are still some things we can't imagine happening anywhere else. For instance, the case of two full grown men who decided to leave a bar, get naked, and fight over an iPod.

José Luis Colon, 41, allegedly walked a 39-year-old man back to Colon's apartment after the two met at a bar in DUMBO on Thursday afternoon. But before getting inside, the two decided to get naked. As if that wasn't strange enough, the sight of themselves in the buff must have set off some anger issues, because Colon slugged the other man in the face and swiped his watch and iPod. He then chased the victim into the street. Police later found the victim's property in Colon's pants pocket in his apartment.

    It's great to be part of a community where the tale of one shameless hustler brings us a "comment" from another shameless hustler. Only in New York indeed.

    This is hilarious.

    Can you imagine being the cops answering this call and having to write this report?

    it seem pretty clean cut. It's a gay pick up gone wrong. Dudes agree at bar to go fuck around in the bushes. One dude either seizes opportunity, or had the plan the whole time to rob him. Fight insues. I doubt they actually planned to make it to the apt the story says there were going to.

    Moral: be careful when you get naked with strangers.
