“One man, who only identified himself as “Julio,” said the area looks like a “war zone” late at night with groups of youngsters looking for trouble. “Little 21-year-old gang bangers trying to punk all the older people,” he said. “I feel like you come down here you gotta watch your back”
From the sounds of it, this could have turned out far worse than two non-fatal stabbings.
