Ponyboy is attacked because he is walking home from the movies alone. Ponyboy is attacked when walking home from the movies by the Socs because he is a greaser, and the two gangs are engaged in an ongoing retaliatory turfwar. He is vulnerable because he is alone ... Socs and Greasers are constantly at battle.
