Pennsylvania man assaulted by brass knuckles over PS3

Posted Sep 5th 2008 7:00PM by Alan Tsang

An 18-year-old man was punched in the face with brass knuckles and then kicked during a dispute over the ownership of a PlayStation 3, the Tribune-Review reports. Here's how it went down: the unidentified victim went up to a group of about 30 people 9:30PM in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, curious to know why people were gathered there. Next thing he knew, it was brass knuckles in the face and his PS3 was taken from him.

Now the police are searching for four men who assaulted him, as they were not apprehended at the scene of the crime. Maybe it was best not to approach a large group of people gathered on a street corner after-dark with your PS3, huh?

There is definitely something more going on than just what this story is reporting

Greensburg police Capt. George Seranko said the victim approached a gathering of approximately 30 people about 9:30 p.m. Friday near the intersection of Urania and Euclid avenues.

"(The victim) wanted to know what was going on," Seranko said. "The next thing he knew, Fabiszewski punched him."

Seranko said Reese, Weimerskir and Iapalucci started kicking the victim as he lay on the ground. The assault resulted from an argument over ownership of the PlayStation 3, police said.

So the man approached a group of 30 people to see what they were doing and then got in an argument over who owned his PS3?

When I read the title, "By brass knuckles" I thought a pair of brass knuckles had miraculously come to life.

Now that you mention it. :laugh:

And if you think about it, the story does sound weird. Maybe the two had a prior acquaintance?

Well, that was the stupidest thing I've ever heard :/

1) Who walks up to 30 people hanging about to see what there doing?

2) And with a PS3 :s

Still, I hope they catch the people who done it!

This is why I never take my iPod Touch on the street of Philadelphia, unless I am in my car, they can kill you in here to take your iPod. :pinch:

Sounds a weird story, must be more to it!

I feel safe enough to walk about with anything, I live in a small town and luckily enough I know everybody :p. Even so, I don't tend to walk up to a big crowd with a PS3 lol

Ok, this is way too weird. Who the hell buys, or carries around, a PS3 at 9:30PM and then goes up to a group of people he doesn't know? Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't walk around with consoles in broad daylight, I always take a car or a taxi, so why this guy was walking around at night with one I have no idea.

The only Time this would happen with me being near my PS3 is at my home or while driving to my friends house with my PS3, in which case I would park a lil ways away leave the PS3 Inside then go and check'r out!
