Winter Clothings Really Save Lives

Pavonia Avenue (and Summit) looking East

This happened last Saturday, last day of February, at the intersection East of Journal Square PATH station. (see photo above)

A man was assaulted when he got off a mini-bus at Pavonia and Summit Avenues at 630 in the morning. One of the attackers stabbed him. Luckily, the victim was wearing thick clothing which protected him from the knife. (The muggers made off with an iPod and $20, and the victim passed out and was brought to the Christ Hospital by his uncle)

Personally, I think Summit and Pavonia intersection is a busy place. Several buses (big ones and mini) stop there almost every minute, lots of people going to government offices, not to mention commuters going to and coming from PATH.

I don’t know how busy that spot is on Saturdays, but those thugs had lots of guts to commit crime, because if you pay close attention, there are a couple of police cars near Five Corners, just few meters away from the scene. As better season approaches, expect crime to climb. It’s hard to trust clothings to save our lives this time.
