A homeless man who sleeps in front of St. Monica’s Church, on East 79th Street and First Avenue, was attacked on May 26 at 1:20 a.m. Police said he and a friend named “John” were having a verbal dispute. The two made up several minutes later. But when the 48-year-old fell asleep, “John” allegedly slashed him on the left side of his neck. The victim ran off and fell to the ground on East 78th Street where he was spotted.
