New York's iconic Washington Square Park has been hit by a fresh wave of crime that saw two people stabbed, an elderly cook attacked, and a man beaten and mugged.
The Manhattan park saw two men, one aged 24, stabbed in the early hours of Saturday during a 10-person brawl, according to the New York Post.
Around 50 people were dancing in the park - which is surrounded by upmarket homes - at 2:15am when an argument erupted, and spiraled into a stabbing.

Trump made a good choice to leave NYC behind.
Only two people stabbed? Fence the park and only let people armed with knives or pistols in. Don’t let anyone out until sun up. Only two people stabbed? Call that a party? Pshaw! Phooey!
True, majority of New York city and environs vote Dem all the time.
They deserve what happens.
May God protect the law enforcement officers who battle them.
Photos in Daily Mail riot coverage of this story and others are racist-—they show mostly blacks rioting. Should be closer to the average demographic proportion as with traffic stops and school suspensions.
RE: Back to the 70s
There are several books about the early 1960s folk music trend. They describe and show pictures of teenagers or people in their 20s playing guitars, banjos or autoharps and singing in Washington Square Park. Limeliters, Kingston Trio or Pete Seeger if not Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly songs.
Then crackdowns and police beating them with billy clubs, kicking them and pushing them into paddy wagons to head to jail. Then repeat.
The American people should have quit while they were ahead. Youth singing folk songs was nothing like the meth head, machete wielding and hammer smashing current occupants of the area. Those good old days are gone. “This land is your land....”
Dancing or twerking?
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.
Send him in......
Yeah, commies want people to pack up and leave... then take over the most powerful city in the world without firing a shot...(and on the cheap)
They’re not the same groups...
If I were allowed freedom of speech I would agree with you.

That's why so many cats have disappeared. Boom in newly opened Chinese restaurants taking reservations. Now I get it.

In other words, it’s one helluva town.
Given what we know about our last national election, I think folks might want to keep their powder dry before blaming Gothamites.
How do we know their last election for mayor wasn’t rigged?

Nod to Muddy Waters.
Probably right on that note.....
I don’t see violence as Freedom.....
You are looking at from your point of view
The ability to do as you please and become a criminal fearing no punishment is freedom
Urban criminals fear no punishment and thus feel free
