[NYPOST] Manhattan’s latest shooting gallery was back open for business Sunday — a day after The Post reported on the disturbing daytime drug spree in the Garment District.
Three men were spotted shooting up heroin in front of an apartment building on West 36th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues Sunday afternoon, with two of them abandoning the third who had passed out on the sidewalk, as a traffic cop wrote tickets nearby.
"Can you call an ambulance?" one man could be heard asking after attempting to revive his sick pal by pouring water on his head.
Forty minutes later, a fourth man approached the still-high man, asking if he was alright.
"They left me for dead," the man replied, visibly tweaking from the drugs.
One block away, on West 35th Street, another pair injected themselves in front of a store called Leather, Suede, Skins — with zero cops in sight.
The first man could be seen shooting up in his arm, fingers and ankle. The other man injected his arm.
Several passersby hardly took notice to the men in the bustling neighborhood-turned-heroin hotspot.
The Garment District is no stranger to open-air drug use. Last summer, The Post reported significant drug use in the plaza at Broadway and West 40th Street.
"Sometimes when I’m walking, I see a lot of people doing it," said Modou Trawally, 44, a fabric store worker on West 35th Street. "It’s dangerous. You see someone inject himself. He’s not a doctor. It’s a problem. If the city can help them that would be better."
Another local worker, who didn’t want to be named, said the city needs to clean up the area.
"It’s horrible," he said, adding that he witnessed someone getting high last week as he was exiting the subway at 34th Street. "I saw someone shooting up and his friend said he’s got diabetes. I said, ’Yeah, right.""
NYPD and City Hall did not return requests for comment.
