A NYPD Blotter item in the Post says, "Four thugs jumped a 28-year-old woman as she walked along a West Village street, sources said. The victim was on King Street near Sixth Avenue at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when one female fiend in the group shot pepper spray at her... The bandits made off with her wallet, which had $20, a MetroCard and a credit card." The 6th Precinct, which covers the West Village and (west) Soho west of 6th Avenue, is down 9% for robberies (PDF) this year compared to the same period last year.
