A newsstand vendor was robbed twice in recent months — including once by a pair of crooks who pistol-whipped him — after he set up shop on the Upper West Side in a bid to escape crime.
Shah Hossain, 46, said he remains shaken by a brazen broad-daylight robbery Monday in which two gun-toting bandits clobbered him to the ground and snatched $3,000 from his newsstand along Columbus Avenue and West 81st Street.
He suspects the bandits were the same duo who robbed him back in the spring.
“I am watching people from all sides now,” he told The Post on Wednesday.
The heinous heist was both insult and injury for Hossein, who set up a newsstand along the quiet block near the American Museum of Natural History more than a year ago after growing tired of constant thievery at his old One World Trade Center location.

Time to Escape from New York!
Three thousand bucks cash in a (I assume) sidewalk newsstand????
With so few people buying print media anymore due to internet?
I wonder what else the guy was selling.
OH, and there are no “Good Areas” in New York, where your Governor and Mayor are stealing from you and abusing you every day, and importing a million people to rob, beat, and maybe even kill you.
Are there any left in NYC? Maybe Staten Island.
I have the boxed set on DVD.
Texas is pretty simple. If you are not a felon you can have a weapon to defend yourself in public if so licensed and it is not difficult to obtain a license for concealed carry. For open carry it is even less rules. In reference to the license it has nothing to do with your home. You can have anything you want in your home. I suspect MOABs and nuclear bombs are not on the list> :).
This is Texas, please be polite to each other.
Gum, Clark bars, Penthouse Forum...
People need to arm up and put these fr’kn animals DOWN!!
Even if caught Commie-la’s bandit bailout fund will likely make sure they can get back out and rob again.
NYC newsstands normally also sell candy and cigarettes. Sometimes they'll stock convenience items, like batteries, combs, nail clippers. They might have a small fridge to sell cold soda.
Yeah, but they’ll all still vote for the Red Fascists.
the crooks probably got away with 13 cartons of cigarettes, a six pack of coke... and one NY Times to cover their stash.
I think that covers the 3K
