Public Safety issued a Security Alert an hour ago that a student was assaulted last night at 119th and Morningside. Three males, described as “18-20” and black, attacked the student from behind, and ran off after he resisted. The trio apparently committed another crime later in Morningside Park. Full description after the jump.

@Ali G There’s Three Men, One Brotha, One Honky and One Spanish.
Seriously though, this is going to lead to more racist bullcrap followed by ridiculous over liberal bullcrap. Both sides look dumb and are wrong.
“Black Harlem needs to be gentrified!” -> “It’s your fault they commit crimes!”
@Sorry guys but I was one of the attackers. Seriously, I thought he was someone else.
No hard feelings. Right?
@Ahem They weren’t black, they were “b”.

@Gay Hooligans? I like their matching hat-shirt ensembles.
