Cops shoot dead armed man after Bronx bodega fight

June 25, 2023

Dramatic surveillance videos from a fatal officer-involved shooting in The Bronx on Thursday show plainclothes NYPD cops firing a barrage of bullets at an armed suspect fleeing a stabbing in a bodega. The incident began unfolding inside a convenience store at Hull Avenue and East Gun Hill Road around 11:30 a.m., when a 29-year-old man entered the business and immediately attacked a 21-year-old guy, police said. Videos from inside the bodega obtained by The Post show the attacker lunging at the younger man and proceeding to brutally pummel him. As the brawl moves to the back of the store, the attacker, wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, pins down the victim, who struggles, knocks down a display case of snacks with his feet and kicks wildly at items lining a shelf.

NYC's Ruth's Chris Steak House stabbing leaves patron hurt, NYPD seek female attacker

June 25, 2023

A woman having dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Manhattan stabbed a male patron in the chest after becoming enraged by his arguing with an employee Friday night, police said. The 24-year-old man began squabbling with a worker at the upmarket Midtown steakhouse just after 10 p.m. — and made such a scene that it disturbed diners sitting at nearby tables, including two women enjoying a meal together, according to cops. One of the ladies got up, approached the combative man and stabbed him, police said. She and her friend then fled on foot, heading east on West 51st Street. The man was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive. Police were looking for the alleged stabber, who was described as black with a light complexion and wearing a black jumpsuit. The woman accused of stabbing the man is still at large. Christopher Sadowski ...

The NYPD Saturday praised a Manhattan North precinct honcho who “took responsibility” for his subordinates’ actions in the on-duty drinking scandal at the Electric Zoo music festival. Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell and Chief James Essig tweeted a statement Saturday backing Deputy Chief Brian McGee, who oversaw the Manhattan North narcotics bureau where officers are under probe.

Four plainclothes detectives worked all three days of the event and surveillance video shows them taking liquor bottles from a VIP tent and putting them in the trunk of their unmarked police car, sources said. A lieutenant was also caught stopping by and drinking, sources said.

East Harlem junkie haven thriving under cops' noses

June 22, 2023

The free-for-all junkie haven in East Harlem was still operating in full force Sunday — with some NYPD cops simply looking the other way while zoned-out addicts tried to rob and harass locals in broad daylight. Saber Saifullah, who owns Pizza 2 Go on East 125th Street, told The Post the day after its expose on the open-air outrage that he had to personally shoo away an addict who tried to rob a 15-year-old girl outside the eatery Sunday — about 10 yards from a cop on patrol. “The cop is standing there, drug dealer is standing there,” Saifullah said. “I’m here 20 years managing this, never like this,” he said of the out-of-control scene. “[The junkies] see the good people come here to buy, and they snatch the food, they snatch the money.” Another addict was seen pulling down his pants Sunday and shooting up right next to three NYPD squad cars, with no one intervening. Saifullah said the addicts are “not like humans” when they’re drugged ...
