A mugging in the Marigny Triangle was caught on tape, and now police are looking to ID the man who jumped out of a car and put a woman in a headlock on Burgundy Street early Friday morning. According to police, the woman and a friend were walking at about 1:15 a.m. in the 1900 block of Burgundy when a man attacked. He allegedly jumped out of a silver car, put the woman in a headlock and hit her several times in the face. The man demanded the pair's property, but then got back into the car, and didn't take any items. Watch the incident, via a ProjectNOLA crime camera:

Courtesy of Harry Shearer, we had plenty of laughs at Tuesday's Night Out for NoDef. So, why not keep the guffaws going?

MARIGNY TRIANGLE - A post-Krewe de Vieux skirmish in the 1900 block of Burgundy left two men in critical condition Saturday night, New Orleans police confirmed.

Over the last month, there's a significant spike in crime and armed robberies in particular in the Marigny Triangle. As can be expected in an area with a heavy nightlife contingent, thieves have been targeting people walking to their cars from Frenchmen St. But the crimes haven't all been cut from the same cast.

Two weeks ago, Max Braun who was in the process of moving to the area from Atlanta was robbed almost as soon as he got out of his car.
