Neither more nor less

Last Wednesday afternoon , according to witnesses , the man pictured here was pushing a cart laden with empty bottles around and through the path in the midst of the chess tables in Tompkins Square Park . This path is a narrow one and somehow our bloodied subject attempted to force his way past an older woman and in doing so was judged by some present at the scene to be disrespectful of this elderly woman .There were words and a scuffle then justice came as a series of blows delivered by some un-named individuals to the face and head with the resulting damage as seen above .

When police arrived they cuffed and questioned the bloodied man but he had nothing much to say to the officers other than that he just didn't quite know what had happened .
