BREAKING NEWS: Jack Frost attacked outside of apartment!

Jack Frost was severely beaten outside of his Upper West Side apartment early this morning by a disgruntled citizen, driven mad by the incessant cold weather. He was rushed immediately to Mt. Sinai and treated for internal bleeding and a couple of broken ribs.

“I don’t know exactly what happened,” Frost explained weakly, from his hospital bed, “I was just heading over to the park to walk my dog, and the next moment this maniac was on top of me swinging a baseball bat!”

The crazed attacker (identified as Mel Williams, 34, of Parsipanny N.J.) was hauled off to police headquarters screaming “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it ANYMORE!” still clinging to what was left of his splintered Louisville Slugger.

When asked if there was any reason why the man would’ve committed such a heinous act, Frost was reflective, “People should know that I’m just doing my job.  It might not be popular, but I’m out there every day busting my derriere providing a service.”

Upon hearing of the attack and subsequent arrenst, a large group of protesters formed outside the precint where Williams was being held for questioning, demanding his immediate release,  many waving hand-painted signs of support.

“Let Williams go NOW!!!” shouted one Bronx woman, showing no sympathy at all for Mr. Frost’s condition, she went on to say, “ You’re just doing your JOB?… at least you HAVE a job, you pointy-nosed bastard!”
