Syracuse NY Radio: Morning Host Assaulted Helping Homeless Man

Joe Grosvent
A WKRL 100.9 FM K-Rock morning host was assaulted after trying to help a homeless person who was being harassed near a pub on Christmas, according to the Syracuse Police Department.

KROCK's Joe Grosvent and a friend were walking home from the pub around 11:30 p.m. when they saw a group of five men harassing a homeless person, according to cnycentral.com.

Police say Grosvent and his friend confronted the group and got them to stop, only to run into them a short time later a few blocks away.

According to police, the five men pulled up in a white BMW and began to shout at Grosvent and his friend. The two victims then began knocking on the windows of the car.

That is when, police say, a fight broke out between the two groups. After the fight, the victims walked to a friend's house and stayed the night.

The next morning, Grosvent and his friend went to the hospital and were treated for the injuries. However, the police were not called until Sunday when the victims were able to talk, according to police.
