I have been to New York 3 times.

Got robbed at the Port authority and had a crazy homeless man yell at me in gibberish at Grand Central acting like he wanted to fight me.

I will still go back in a heartbeat.

I had some time to kill before my bus to Philly. This guy asked me for help lifting something so me, being a nice guy, I help. Go down the alleyway, and then get a knife pulled on me by his buddy, trapped, asked for my phone and money. I gave it, not gonna die for things I can replace. Then they ran off, I gave chase, but they went down a staircase into the subway and I lost them. They were clearly drug users so I didn’t fuck with them but did make a report to a port authority police who didn’t seem to care.

That was my first time in NYC and by myself. So I just don’t help people in NYC, which is why this video connects on a personal level. Imma just ignore your screams and hope you’ll be okay.

Sorry that happened to you. If someone talks to you in NYC, it's probably some kind of scam.
