Two men assault a drunk in an alley off Winston Street in downtown Los Angeles, an area better known as “Skid Row.” Day in the Life of America photographer Sarah Leen says, “I turned into an alley and saw a mugging down at the end of the block. My first instinct was, Can I change my lens fast enough? I stood there, and I photographed the whole incident; then the muggers started running up the alley towards me, and I quickly turned around so they couldn’t see my cameras. But they just blew right by me and disappeared. I thought I was shaking too much for the pictures to come out.”
