From the smallest room in New York City comes a show that gives you a reason to live.

A violent attack that happened in Midtown.

Vio shows the brawl on Broadway.

This happened last Friday.

Police say started when the 41-year-old victim was going into a CVS and a woman asked him for money.

He declined.

No, thank you. And when he left the store,

a man threw a liquid in his face, knocked into the ground. Police say the suspect stabbed him

two times in the back before stealing his Samsung tablet and taking off. Wow. It sure is violent

around here these days. And just not giving somebody money is all it takes to get beaten up once in a while.

Join me now, Seth Barron, author of Last Days in New York.

How are you, Seth?

I'm doing great, Pat.

Thanks for having me on the show.

Sure, man.

Have you had this?

Drugstores are a place.

Inescapable.

You go to them every day, you know, or for something or other, you know.

And there's certain places you go where there's the same guy or whatever,

sometimes hanging around or the same woman.

But typically a guy.
