Ugh. Waking up this morning sore from an experience I had last night.

I got out of a cab at the top of my street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and I was walking along when 5 black guys came out of nowhere. As I walked past one of them lurched out and punched me in the jaw while demanding that I give him my Iphone. I refused and tried to get away and one of them pushed me to the ground. They surrounded me and were punching me and trying to get my phone out of my hand. I thought to myself that I had to get out of there and I jumped up and pushed my way out of the group of guys. Luckily they didn’t follow me and I ran to my building which wasn’t far and got inside.

I’m sore today with some scrapes and a sore neck and jaw but otherwise I’m okay. Little shaken from the whole experience.

Perhaps its a good thing I might be moving at the end of the summer? I guess I was a bit nonchalant but I will definitely be on my guard from now on.
