Manhattan Strip Clubs: Crime Waves: ‘I Hit Him in the Leg With My Coat Like a Little Fly’
While the Daily News chats with anxious pot dealers, the Post talks to old men in Brooklyn. 83-year-old Gersh Gofman apparently beat 99-year-old Steve Pulwers wth a steering-wheel lock over a parking situation. Reports the Post:
The near-centenarian said he was helpless, and tried to use his coat to defend himself. “I hit him in the leg with my coat like a little fly,” he said. Gofman, who hadn’t said a word up to that point, then threatened Pulwers in Russian. “He said he was going to send somebody to cut off my balls,” Pulwers said.
Gofman was charged with assault, menacing, and harassment.
And if you made a Venn diagram of Times and Post crime coverage, there would be no better story to place in the overlap than today’s tale of grammarian strippers.
