'We want Melvin!'

speaking of riding dirty, local southside news this weekend has been about the machete attacks happening in the neighborhood. the post summed it up with their sunday headline: MACHETE MANIA HACKS 2 MEN IN WILLIAMSBURG. the daily news beat them on the story by a few hours and reported a few more details:

About 15 suspected gang members, wearing T-shirts over their faces, stormed down S. Third St. in Williamsburg around 2 a.m. brandishing 18-inch blades and yelling for their intended target to show himself, witnesses said.

"People were screaming; they were saying, 'We want Melvin!'" said one witness too afraid to give his name.
