happy freakin holidays

a blurb on the police blotter i'm editing:

A man, 27, took his wallet out to purchase a ticket at a machine on the south side of the Inwood Long Island Rail Road station on Jan. 1. A group of about six males surrounded the man and hit him with large plastic candy cane decorations. The man dropped his wallet as he fled from the assailants; he suffered scrapes on his left hand in the attack.

i can't make this stuff up.
