Gavin DeGraw Beaten in the East Village, Hospitalized
Pop singer and National Underground co-owner Gavin DeGraw was jumped by a group of thugs early yesterday morning near the corner of East Sixth Street and First Avenue. After the throwdown, the 34-year-old performer reportedly stumbled away on foot, sporting a broken nose and facial lacerations. As if the situation couldn’t get any worse, a taxi “lightly” clipped DeGraw at Nineteenth Street.

Degraw was rushed to Bellevue Hospital where he still remains. Even though the Post claims that robbery was not the motive, something shady was definitely going on here.
