As it is, we're terrified of roving gangs of hooligan teenagers, especially on snow days when they have nothing better to do than plot their latest shenanigans. But now we have even more reason to immediately cross the street whenever we see a group of snickering teens: the Post reports that there have been at least five reports of packs of teens attacking unsuspecting people with snowballs, ice and verbal assaults in Bronwnstone Brooklyn (Boerum Hill, Vinegar Hill, DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights).
And just because you're pregnant, don't expect to be let off the hook: "I never thought they’d attack me...one of them laughed and mimicked me, pushed me, and threw a massive chunk of ice in my face," said mom-to-be Eve Hobgood. Last Saturday, a group of four adolescents surrounded a 40-year-old man on Hoyt Street near Butler Street, pelting him with snowballs before robbing him. We recommend breaking out the pepper spray at the first sign of any hoody, skateboard, or Justin Beiber-insignia.
