Harry Horowitz (1889 – April 13, 1914), better known as Gyp the Blood, was the leader of the notorious Lenox Avenue Gang in New York City during the early part of the 20th century. Legend has it that, on a small bet from one of his colleagues, he would grab passers-by and break their backs over his knee – no small feat by a man only 5 feet 7 who weighed only about 140 pounds. |
