Club clobberers

There was an assault in front of a public housing building at 421 W. 17th St., between Ninth and 10th Aves., last Saturday, according to police.

A woman, 38, told police that on Feb. 23, at 5 a.m., she was walking home, going east toward Ninth Ave., when two women pushed her to the ground. One reportedly kicked her in the back and the other pulled her hair. The victim said she had slight neck pain and refused medical treatment.

This incident reportedly escalated from an earlier dispute in the coat-check area at the nightclub 1 Oak, at 453 W. 17th St. Police said both perps frequent the nightclub.

The two women wanted for attempted assault are both described as black and 5-feet-4-inches tall.
