    • ]]>     So, one week ago, I got punched in the face. Below is the explanation of the series of events that happened along with a diagram and several photos. Warning, the photos are a little gross as I was freshly wounded about an hour before they were taken. Please don’t worry about me, in light of the situaiton, I’m a lot more aware of my surroundings and my roommates and I are moving out before October.

    I left my building a little after 11:30pm on Sunday night. After turning the corner I started walking south on Broadway towards 145th (The C-Town side of the street). Three Black males were walking towards me. (Maroon on diagram) As they got closer, I moved towards the right side of the sidewalk to go around them, (I being blue lines on the diagram) one started mimicking my move towards the street and kept forcing me towards the street. As it came time to pass, I had to cut between them (2 on my left side and 1 on my right). That is when I was hit by a right hook by the guy on my right side. (Black X on diagram) One on my left tried to throw a punch but I’m sure by then I was already running. I tripped and fell about 20 feet away from them (where I cut up my hand and knee). They started to follow me.


    *not even close to scale

    A large Latino guy came to my aid and came over to me and yelled at the three to go away. (Blue X on diagram) They stopped running towards me and jogged a safe distance away and started to walk up Broadway past 146th and on. He helped me up and made sure I was alright. He then walked me to the corner of 146th and I went back into my building. The whole incident was over probably by 11:45pm.

    I have a busted lip and a bruised nose. I have a cut above my eye, but it isn’t bad. I also skinned my right hand and left knee pretty bad from when I fell, and my left hand less so.


    Apologies for the no shirtness

    I later tired to file a police report, but they tend to want those done on the day of the incident, not three days later. Overall I was very lucky with how things turned out. Please don’t worry about me, but do be aware of your surroundings and for the love of god, please don’t try to get a milkshake at 11:30pm on a Sunday in Hamilton Heights.
