LOWER EAST SIDE — A man who told a group loitering outside his Rivington Street apartment to lower their voices just before 2 a.m. on Sunday met with violence, police said.
The 20-year-old victim left his apartment near Clinton Street at around 1:58 a.m. to tell the unruly group that they were being loud while people were trying to sleep, according to a police report.
