Last night Ed Hamilton, a resident at the Hotel Chelsea, emailed us pointing us to the below video on his Facebook page, saying, "The tenant in the video, Arthur Nash, was filming the ongoing destruction of the Hotel when he was assaulted by the demolition crew. Also significant is that Arthur was showing Union reps around the building (the crew is non-union). The woman in the video is the hotel manager, Lilly Sitrit, but where are the Chelsea Hotel security guards? About a dozen demolition crew members waited outside the Hotel for Nash, and when he emerged from the Hotel, they chased him down 23rd Street to 7th Avenue where they assaulted him again. Still no sign of Hotel security, and the Hotel does not appear to have called the police. I was there for the second assault, and when I attempted to intervene, I was assaulted as well. Both Nash and I were teated at Beth Israel emergency room and released." more ›

Last month, we saw disturbing video of a disoriented man rolling around on the L train tracks after falling off the platform in Brooklyn. There was a lot of debate over the actions—or rather, the inactions—of the videographers. But besides the fact that they chose to upload the video of the man-in-distress online in the first place, the thing that most irked us was when they documented themselves laughing about that situation. In the (albeit not perfectly clear) video below, two witnesses cackle gleefully as a guitarist is jumped on a 1 train by a group of people, before being shoved out at Canal Street. more ›

Remember that time you were attacked and the NYPD dropped everything to find your attacker, even though you had literally no memory of the incident and probably couldn't identify the attackers anyway? If you don't remember that happening, then you probably don't have a very high Google rating. The NYPD have been trying to track down Gavin DeGraw's attackers since he was attacked at 4 a.m. in the East Village last Monday, but their trail is cold. So as we noted yesterday, they've been putting up fliers around the neighborhood, asking for help. more ›

Does the NYPD do this for the non-famous? Fliers have been spotted around the East Village, where the NYPD is asking the public's help in tracking down Gavin DeGraw's attackers.

According to EV Grieve, some sources have mentioned two and three assailants being involved in the attack. more ›

Yesterday afternoon Justin Bieber dropped by Macy's to visit with fans and sell them on his new scent, Someday, but things turned ugly once the pop star decided to divert from his plan. The Biebs took an unplanned trip outside of the Herald Square store to wave to around 500 fans who couldn't get in. (Great idea!) The NYPD had set up barricades, but the fans broke through them once they caught a glimpse of the little guy. When that happened the NYPD ordered him back inside, but one of his own security—47-year-old Moshe Benabou—either ignored the order, or got in the way. He was later cited for disorderly conduct. more ›

Fans are outraged, upset, hurt, and scared by what happened to the young Justin Bieber just hours ago. The pop star was "attacked" by a man outside of Macy's, where he was promoting his perfume.
