Delivery workers band together in New York City to fend off violent attacks

In the worst of the pandemic, with New York City on lockdown, an army of 65,000 delivery workers risked their lives to keep the city fed. But in addition to a global pandemic and hazardous weather, these workers also faced threats to their lives — and now, one group is fighting to keep them safe.
A particularly dangerous area is a dark, isolated stretch along the Willis Avenue Bridge, which connects Manhattan and the Bronx. That's where thieves ambushed one man, hit him in the face and made off with his $2,000 electric bike.
This sort of violent attack has happened dozens of times in recent months — and delivery workers Sergio Solano and Juan Tapia are out to stop it.
