| Dirty deeds: NYC's notorious squeegee men are back |
| 2022-07-29 |
| [NYPOST] The notorious squeegee men are back to their bad old ways terrorizing Midtown motorists — and aggressively demanding money for their shoddy, unsolicited services. The Post witnessed a crew of the wayward washers targeting vehicles at the congested West 40th Street and Ninth Avenue intersection on multiple occasions within the last week. "Where are the cops? I mean, this is stressful enough, just driving in, that was like a shakedown!" New Jersey woman, who asked not to be named, said Tuesday just moments after a squeegee man suddenly approached her car. "How is this OK? He just kept saying, ’I know you got some money! I know you got some money!'" The panhandling window-washers approached several vehicles stopped at red lights — sudsing up windshields without warning and then harassing cash from the drivers. In one instance, a squeegee man lifted up the wipers on a car with New Jersey plates and quickly sprayed soapy water across the windshield before the female driver even had a chance to say no. |
