Is it very likely that as a homeless person he will be changing his clothes anytime soon? Just asking

Come on JJ, great f'en description of the guy, they can manage aproximate age and height but that's it?!
green coat, black shirt, blue jeans but thats it, no mention of color.

Does anyone think that St Lucy's Shelter being right on the other side of the Holland Tunnel entrance draws these aggressive "beggars" into the area?

Another good reason not to eat Burger King.

ok this is pretty scary.... You know I never thought much about beggars, always leave my window down (when it was warmer) so ... yea... I totally get it now Gnome.

What the heck are all the security cameras trained on? I read about folk getting caught for smoking joints in their cars by these security cameras so why not these things? Sheeesh.

i've seen those beggars hanging out there! once late at night they came up to my car...freaked me the eff out.

"The panhandler is described as being 30 to 40 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7. He wore a green coat, black T-shirt and blue jeans, reports said."

well, that narrows it down.

yeah, that's actually pretty scarey. Many, at least try to hear people out as a courtesy when approached. Keep windows up, door locked and head straight, especially at odd hours.

Damn, I think this guy might have hit me up earlier in the night. Can I just walk down to the East District to talk to them or are they going to make me call that number?

seriously, wtf

Stabbed in throat by beggar

Friday, October 09, 2009

A Queens man was stabbed in the throat by a beggar as he waited in his car in a Burger King drive-through lane in Jersey City early yesterday morning, officials said.

Officers responded to the Jersey City Medical Center just after 4 a.m. and met the 24-year-old victim, who said he was in a car at the Burger King at 12th Street and Manila Avenue when a man approached asking for $2, reports said.

The victim said that when he told the man he had no money, the man took a quick jab at him with a sharp object, leaving a wound 4 to 5 inches long.

The panhandler is described as being 30 to 40 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7. He wore a green coat, black T-shirt and blue jeans, reports said.

Anyone with information on the stabbing is asked to call the Jersey City Police Department tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.
