A series of attacks on random strangers is putting New Yorkers on edge.
Although assaults were commonplace in the 1980s, a crackdown on the crooks saw crime levels drop making neighborhoods that were previously known as no-go areas, safe to walk around, even at night.
But now, there are fears the city is returning to the bad old days.
Areas of the city which were generally thought to be safe, such as Midtown Manhattan, Chelsea and the leafy Upper West Side, have all been locations on random assaults in recent months.
Some are describing the assaults as proof of the return of the so-called 'knockout game.'
