Disturbing video captures the moment a group of attackers chased two other men into a Bronx bodega this week slashing one of them with a machete. Two separate clips, released by the United Bodegas of America early Tuesday, shows the attackers hurling items at the door as the duo inside attempt to defend themselves one even holding what appears to be a candy dispenser as a shield. During the fracas, one of the victims was slashed across the eye and forehead before cops and an ambulance arrived, according to the coalition of bodega owners. The incident happened on Sunday around 5 p.m., but Fernando Mateo, spokesman for the group, declined to immediately provide the location where it happened, which he said was to protect the safety of the bodega owner. Bodega clerks hid behind the counter during the scary ordeal and were unharmed, according to Mateo. NYPD responded to the 911 call, things happen quickly in real time, Mateo said in a statement. As you witness on the video tapes, someone could have died. Lucky day for the two victims who ran into the bodega, they could have died.

Mayor de Blasio must refund the police, he added. We need public safety in our hoods, we pay for that protection and we are not getting it. To many victims, to many killing, to many crimes committed in NYC, this must END. Radhames Rodriguez, president of the coalition, compared the attack to the heinous caught-on-camera June 20, 2018 machete and knife killing of 15-year-old Guzman-Feliz after he was dragged out of the Belmont store in a case of mistaken identity. We are nervous and afraid, these machete attacks bring us back two years when Junior was killed and the bodega owner was blamed for his death, Rodriguez said. We are in our bodegas trying to make a living, we dont know who is going to run in and why. We are innocent victims as well, we are not armed, we dont have anything to defend or protect anyone without risking our own lives. The Videos you see here are proof of how dangerous NYC has gotten.

Legit sounds like negotiating with the mob

You cut out some important sentences there, TC. What a choice.
Why was the Bodego spokesman making comments about police funding if the police arrived as they should?

Looks like a video from Brazil or some third world country that I'd watch on BestGore.

Good job, New York.

is this that trinitarios gang?
using machetes are their m.o.

we pay for that protection and we are not getting it

Huh.

Interesting phrasing.

That's terrifying but it's awesome they were able to fight them off.

Absolute insane footage.

The guy using the oscillating fan as a melee weapon makes this video beyond surreal.
