Book Vending Turns Nasty on Joralemon

Vending books is a nasty, even dangerous business in Downtown Brooklyn. This woman was selling reading matter on Joralemon Street east of Court Street this afternoon when another woman working at a nearby book table dissed her, then bit her. On top of that, the offender pocketed some cash from her boss' table. (Her boss happened to be the ex-husband of the victim...) Cops made the chomper return the money to her boss, then chased her away. They advised the victim to apply peroxide to the wound.
