9 p.m. NEWS FLASH

Four presumed Hispanic males assaulted two young women at Green and North this evening about nine o'clock. Their screams attracted the neighbors' attention (including me) and the police department was flooded with calls. The two girls frantically pounded on the door of an apartment building and a tenant came to their assistance and was struck by one of the assailants. The glass in the door was also shattered by one of the perps. The four fled, two up Green Street and two up Oliver Alley, but not before threatening the apartment tenants: "We'll be back for you" or something such. Despite the fact that there have been numerous muggings in this area in recent weeks and despite the plethora of calls for help, we still had no response from the police department forty minutes later (when I left the scene to file this report). Such a response time is totally unacceptable and reflects on the current administration at City Hall . . . More tomorrow or later depending on circumstances . . .
