Gang melee/hit-and-run in Astoria


From the Daily News:

A 23-year-old man was jumped by a group and slashed in the back when a melee inside Amnesia, a club on Steinway St. in Astoria, spilled onto the street just after 4 a.m. closing time.

The driver of a champagne-colored vehicle who happened to be passing by the melee hit several club-goers, slammed into a parked Jeep Grand Cherokee and then fled the scene, cops and witnesses said.

Orlando Santos, 18, of Brooklyn, who suffered a dislocated hip after being struck by the hit-and-run driver, was arrested at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in connection to the slashing attack. He was charged with gang assault.

A 28-year-old man was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital after being slashed
in the left side of his face during the brawl and struck by the hit-and-run vehicle, cops said.

A 25-year-old man was treated at Elmhurst Hospital for crash-related cuts.

This story reinforces my belief in shorting the club and bar curfew from 4:00AM to 2:00 or 1:00AM like many other cities. Crap like this would be reduced so hard working people can get a good nights sleep and have safe streets again.

Hey, don't they call Astoria a hipster paradise?

Like a few years back when they compared it to the East Side.

The only difference is that Williamsburg actually has hipsters rather than swill from the Mediterranean diaspora

and the East Side doesn't have many old ladies dressed in black that live downstairs that don't give heat in the winter.

Astoria has become like Flushing....peopled by a different group of low life....ignored by its politicians....but skillfully used by them to advance their fortunes.

you also forgot is civic leadership - the community board, drawn from Dutch Kills to Garden Bay, are ready to sell their community down the pike.

Its Democracy - and its stupid at times but its Democracy.

If you want your politics sanitary go to N Korea or a machine function filled with hacks.

Do you want THAT as your source of news?

Different suggestions such as the ones above should be tried. I also think gangs are somewhat illegals to prey on their own - stamp out illegals to stamp out crime!
