​

The number of people caught with illegal knives in the NYC subway system has skyrocketed by 60%.
At least 572 people have been arrested with blades so far this year, compared to 358 during the same period last year, according to NYPD Transit Bureau data.
It is illegal to carry knives in the subway system.
The number of related arrests has risen 126% over the last four years, the data shows.
Slashings on the subway continue to make headlines, including the deadly stabbing of 18-year-old Isaiah Collazo on a northbound D train as it entered the Fourth Avenue and Pacific Street station in Boerum Hill in Brooklyn on April 7.
Collazo was with a friend who yanked the train’s emergency brake, ticking off Mark Smith, 25, who then started arguing with Collazo before plunging a knife into his stomach, according to NYPD officials.
“This guy confronts him, ‘What the hell did you do that for?’ ” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. “There’s sort of a scrum, pulls out a knife, hits him, stabs him.”

The number of people caught with illegal knives in the NYC subway system has skyrocketed by 60% from this time last year, according to data.Christopher Sadowski
“It’s a stupid kid prank,” Essig said of the incident that sparked the killing.


Smith later turned himself into the police, according to Essig.


The manslaughter charges against Smith were dismissed in May after a grand jury voted not to indict him because Collazo and his friend were considered the aggressors.

The number of related arrests has risen 126% over the last four years, the data shows. Seth Gottfried
Late last month a group of ski mask-wearing teenagers stabbed a man on the C train at Pitkin Avenue in East New York.


The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition.


Two weeks later, a 23-year-old woman was slashed in the face by a stranger who did not say a word before the unprovoked attack on the northbound 3 train as it pulled into the Nostrand Avenue station in Crown Heights.

Police arrested 29-year-old Iking Dennis in the attack.


There has been a 10% increase in felony assault arrests on the subway system this year compared to the same time last year, according to NYPD Transit Bureau data.

Manhattan restaurants hit by repeat smash-and-grab burglaries as owners blame lack of cops

Restaurateurs say a wave of repeat smash-and-grab attacks is hitting their businesses. Burglaries are up 63% in a year on the Lower East Side.

Manhattan restaurants hit by repeat smash-and-grab burglaries as owners blame lack of cops​

Fernando Navas has owned and operated Balvanera since 2014. He recently relocated to Pittsburgh full-time with his family. Stefano Giovannini




A thief smashed the glass door of Lower East Side Argentinian restaurant Balvanera around 4 a.m. Sunday morning fleeing with $400 from the cash drawer.
It’s the restaurant’s third break-in since last year, ringing up a tab of thousands of dollars in damages.
“Every time, they break the glass and walk right to the cash register,” Fernando Navas, chef and owner of Balvanera on Stanton St., told The Post.
“I called 911. I told them, ‘I’m letting you know this is the third time [the restaurant was attacked],” Navas said.
He is not alone: Restaurant owners across Manhattan are being hit by an uptick in restaurant smash-and-grab burglaries, they tell The Post.
And some restaurateurs said they’ve suffered repeat attacks and have lost thousands in cash and computer equipment. Owners say a lack of police on patrol in the early hours and repeat offenders who face no repercussions are to blame.

Balvanera, an Argentinean restaurant on Stanton Street, was hit with a smash-and-grab last Sunday around 4 a.m. when a thief made off with $400. Navas will have to shell out upwards of $1,500 to repair damages to his storefront, he said. Courtesy of Fernando Navas
Burglaries on the Lower East Side, where Balvanera is located, have gone up 63.6% this year in the 28-day period ending June 25 compared to 2022, according to the NYPD.


“The break-ins are getting out of control. It was not like this pre-COVID,” Nick Moshkovich, director of operations at nearby Bonberi Mart on West 11th Street, which also experienced an attempted attack on May 14 around 5 a.m., told The Post. His neighbor, 11th Street Cafe, has also been hit with a string of smash-and-grab attacks.


“We’re on a quiet street — they’re [thieves] targeting us because there’s less foot traffic. Police drive by, but there’s no boots on the ground,” Moshkovich said.

Navas couldn’t afford to close his restaurant for brunch service last Sunday hours, after the break in. “I’m going to lose more money. If I don’t open for brunch, that’s another $4,000 or $5,000 that I lose,” he told The Post. Stefano Giovannini
Navas’ Balvanera was burglarized in November 2022 and again January 2022, with the glass front door destroyed and the cash drawer cleared out each time. Each time Navas closed the business for hours while waiting for detectives to survey the scene.


But he told The Post he can’t afford to lose any more money, he said, and when he was hit Sunday, he pressed ahead with business.


“I’m not going to go through the full report and wait four or five hours for the detective to come because I’m going to lose more money. If I don’t open for brunch, that’s another $4,000 or $5,000 that I lose,” he told The Post.


Since opening in 2014, Balvanera had only experienced one burglary before the pandemic hit in 2019. Since 2020, Navas said, things have gotten worse.

Osteria 57 suffered $8,000 in losses and damages when a smash-and-grabber took around $4,000 in the cash drawer and made out with laptops, iPads and small appliances.Stefano Giovannini
“There are less police on the streets. If you walk around the Lower East Side you see people who look like zombies — people on heroin, on fentanyl. It’s too hard to have a business” in NYC,” Navas said.


The repeat crimes, coupled with the expense of running a restaurant and living in New York City, has motivated Navas and his family to relocate permanently to Pittsburgh, where he has relatives, he said.


“It makes you think about closing the restaurant. What am I doing?” Navas, who will open an outpost of Balvanera in the coming months in Pittsburgh, said. “Small businesses suffer in New York.”


Across town, 11th Street Cafe and Osteria 57 in the West Village have all had overnight smash-and-grabs.

11th Street Cafe also had a break in last Sunday in the early morning.Stefano Giovannini
Hours after closing last Saturday night, 11th Street Cafe owner Philippe Bonsignour told The Post the restaurant suffered a second break-in, with a thief smashing its glass storefront. He declined to say if any cash was stolen.


“Somebody came in yanked the door open,” he said.


Emanuele Nigro, the co-owner of West Village Italian restaurant Osteria 57 on West 10th Street, said it suffered $8,000 in losses and damages when a smash-and-grab thief took around $4,000 in the cash drawer and made out with laptops, iPads and small appliances.


“They were able to get in and take our money, computers – luckily, there was no major damage to the restaurant. They left the place intact, they just went for the money,” Nigro said about the break-in.

Nigro’s Alice restaurant on West 13th Street was also targeted but the burglar failed.
He also owns Alice on West 13th Street, where there was an attempted break-in around four months ago when a burglar unsuccessfully tried to force the door open.


Nirgo says his restaurants have security cameras, however, he’s considering investing more than $1,000 to install a new gate with a stronger lock for Osteria 57.


“It’s definitely a lot of aggravation for restaurateurs. What hurts us the most is the sense of alarm that gets put on the customers. There’s definitely this general atmosphere of alarm, and it’s not good for business,” Nigro said.


People in the area said thieves hide in outdoor dining sheds and strike after cops drive by.

Bonberi Mart on West 11th Street also had an attempted break in two months ago. Stefano Giovannini



“They tried to break in through the front. They sit there in the outdoor dining area, it’s usually between 5 and 6 a.m. I saw him waiting there and sneaking over and trying to break into my store,” Moshkovich told The Post, recalling watching a burglar attempt a break-in two months ago from security footage he turned over to cops.


“I don’t think they’ve come to any conclusion. It’s just ridiculous,” he said.

Six men were wounded in the Bronx Monday in two separate triple-shootings that rocked the borough ahead of Independence Day.
The spate of gun violence began at about 4:35 a.m. following a dispute between groups at an after-hours club in Morrisania, police said.
A 34-year-old man was shot in the torso, a 28-year-old man was also shot in the torso and a 30-year-old man was shot in the arm and both legs after the feuding parties opened fire inside 400 Claremont Pwky, cops said.

11 people wounded, 2 killed, in overnight NYC shootings after Fourth of July holiday: cops​

Five shootings erupted in The Bronx in the span of one hour and 40 minutes early Wednesday after the NYPD mobilized over rampant gun violence in the borough — with bullets flying across the Big Apple as the Fourth of July holiday came to a close, cops and sources said.


The bloodshed in The Bronx was part of 12 separate shootings in the city within eight hours Wednesday morning, leaving two people dead and 11 injured, according to police.


Police sources said the NYPD called a modified “level four mobilization” at around 10 p.m. Tuesday, following the July Fourth fireworks — in which 130 extra cops from the four other boroughs descended on The Bronx, which saw the majority of the holiday weekend’s gun violence.


The department called a full “level four mobilization” — the highest level response in which 600 cops flood the streets — last in 2020 amid rampant looting during protests in the city over the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the sources said. The NYPD also took the same action during crises such as the September 11 terror attacks and the Washington Heights riots in 1992, according to the sources.


The fatal victims Wednesday included an 18-year-old man shot on Morris Avenue in the Bronx, with a 19-year-old wounded in the same incident — drawing Mayor Eric Adams to the scene as police investigated.


The mayor did not make any public statements during his visit, which came about 24 hours after he’d touted the holiday weekend as “one of the safest in 19 years” in a tweet.


The 18-year-old was later identified as Moise Figueroa, as cops also announced an arrest in the shooting.


Ariel Velasquez, 19, and Ramon Santos, 28, were arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. A motive in the holiday violence remains unclear.

The other fatality was a 30-year-old man gunned down in upper Manhattan, police said.


The bloodshed early Wednesday nearly matched the violence over the entire holiday weekend — with 16 people shot in 10 separate incidents from July 1 to July 4, according to preliminary NYPD statistics.


The violence began around 12:40 a.m., when a 34-year-old man was shot in the right leg on Schley Avenue near Balcom Avenue in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx, police said.


He walked into Westchester Square Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.


About 20 minutes later, a 36-year-old man was shot in the leg and buttocks on Dewey Avenue near Swinton Avenue, also in Throggs Neck, police said.


He initially walked into Montefiore Medical Center, but was then moved to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was also listed in stable condition.

Two persons of interest were taken into custody in connection to the Morris Avenue shooting.Robert Mecea
It was unclear whether the two shootings were connected.


Then around 1:30 a.m., a 20-year-old woman was shot at Bristol Street and Livonia Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn, cops said.


She was taken to Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition. The motive for the shooting is under investigation.


A few minutes later, a 30-year-old man was shot in the face on Vermilyea Avenue near Academy Street in Inwood, Upper Manhattan, police said.


He was taken to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made, and the motive for the deadly violence remains unclear.


Around the same time, a 29-year-old man walked into Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Police could not immediately determine the location of the shooting.


A 21-year-old man was shot in the right arm at East 176th Street and Grand Concourse, also in the Bronx, around 1:40 a.m., cops said.


He walked into Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center, where he was listed in stable condition.


Then around 2:20 a.m., a 20-year-old man was shot in the right leg on Chester Street near Dumont Avenue in Brownsville, police said.

The Morris Avenue shooting was one of five that occurred in the Bronx overnight.Robert Mecea
He also went to Brookdale with non-life-threatening injuries.


The second fatal shooting of the morning happened around the same time on Morris Avenue near East 182nd Street in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx, cops said.


Two male teens were shot — an 18-year-old blasted in the leg, and a 19-year-old struck in the hip, police said.


The younger teen was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.


The older teen was taken to the same hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

A total of 11 people were shot in 10 incidents overnight, the NYPD said. Robert Mecea
Two persons of interest were taken into custody but not immediately charged, police said.


Police are still probing the circumstances leading to the shooting.


In East Harlem, a 21-year-old woman was shot around 3:55 a.m. on the grounds of the NYCHA’s Washington Houses on Second Avenue near East 99th Street, cops said.


He was taken to Metropolitan Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.


Back in Brooklyn, a 42-year-old man was shot in both legs on Surf Avenue near West 30th Street in Coney Island around 4 a.m., police said.


He was initially taken to Coney Island Hospital, and then moved to NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, where he was listed in stable condition.


At 7 a.m., a 27-year-old man walked into Columbia Presbyterian Hospital bleeding from a gunshot wound to the right leg — an injury police believe he sustained in a shooting in The Bronx hours earlier, cops said.


Then at 8:30 a.m. a 52-year-old man was shot and slashed at Harding Park in the Soundview section of The Bronx, police said. He was hospitalized in stable condition.

The NYPD called a “level four mobilization” in light of multiple recent shootings in the Bronx. Robert Mecea
The Wednesday morning violence followed an already-bloody holiday weekend in The Bronx. The borough took the brunt of the shootings, with NYPD Chief Michael Lipetri saying it was “the most heavily deployed borough, as far as resources,” during a press briefing Monday.


“The NYPD monitors crime hot spots through various sources including historical analysis, our officers in the field, 311, and 911. Based on real-time information we adjust our deployment as needed,” a department spokesperson said Wednesday of its response in The Bronx.


Among the weekend victims was a 5-year-old girl who was critically wounded at around 7 p.m. Friday while sitting in her family’s car on East 214th Street in The Bronx.


Police said the gunplay was likely connected to a fatal Thursday night shooting and took place during a vigil for the victim of that incident, 26-year-old Justin Rodriguez.


Also in The Bronx, a 12-year-old girl struck in the shoulder by a stray bullet Saturday night while walking on Eastburn Avenue in Mount Hope with her aunt, who was shot in the foot, police said.

The circumstances leading to each of the shootings remain under investigation. Robert Mecea
Other young victims of the holiday spate of gun violence included an innocent 13-year-old boy shot in the leg in Harlem at just before 1 a.m. on Tuesday.


Still, the violence paled in comparison to last year’s Fourth of July holiday weekend, which saw 55 people shot in 36 separate incidents, according to NYPD data.


In 2021, there were 42 victims in 29 shootings over the holiday weekend, down from the 77 people shot in 55 incidents for the same time period in 2020, the police stats show.


The last time the holiday fell on a Tuesday — as it did this year — was in 2017, when police reported 17 victims in 15 shootings from July 1 to July 4, according to the data.


And despite the recent spike in gunplay in The Bronx, overall shootings in the borough so far this year are down by 30% to 156 from the 225 tallied over the same period in 2022.





Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, speaking Wednesday at a memorial service for slain NYPD cop Miosotis Familia — who was killed execution-style while on duty in the borough on July 5, 2017 — said her office was laser-focused on cracking down on those responsible for the violence.


“I am warning anyone who even thinks of picking up a gun or knife in the Bronx that they will be prosecuted,” Cark said.


“The people of the Bronx deserve to be safe so anyone harming innocent people will be held accountable,” she added. We may even take some cases federally.”

Two men were stabbed in separate attacks just 10 minutes apart in Manhattan early Thursday — including one knifed four times on board a subway train, police said.
In the first assault, a 52-year-old man was riding a northbound No. 1 train around 2:20 a.m. when he got into a scuffle with a stranger at the 42nd Street-Times Square station, cops said.
The attacker — a man who cops described as having a dark complexion and wearing a white T-shirt — stabbed the victim four times in the head, authorities said.
He then ran out of the station and onto the street.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
The NYPD did not immediately know what sparked the violent clash.
Then around 2:30 a.m., a 51-year-old man was knifed in the stomach by a man who snatched his wallet in front of 500 Fifth Avenue, a skyscraper located across from Bryant Park, near the West 42nd Street intersection, police said.

The stabbings came hours after another incident just blocks away in which a 17-year-old boy allegedly punched a cop who tried to arrest him, authorities said.


The officer was trying to cuff the boy, and an accomplice, also 17, for a prior assault when the teen socked him in the face at Broadway and West 40th Street around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.

​

Three people were killed and two others hurt in separate incidents across the city overnight, authorities said.
A man and a woman were fatally stabbed following an argument in the Norwood section of the Bronx Friday night, police said.
The bloodshed was sparked when a man and two women were heading up a stairwell in a building on Rochambeau Avenue, and another man attempted to grope one of the women just after 10 p.m. Friday, police said.
The incident led to an argument, with the trio following the accused groper to an apartment on the fourth floor.
The group fought, with the suspect stabbing the women, who then raced out of the building while the two men fought, an NYPD spokesman said.
Police responding to a 911 call found one of the victims, 29, with a stab wound to the chest, while the other, 33, had been slashed in the hand. The younger woman was later pronounced dead at St. Barnabas Hospital, while the 33-year-old was in stable condition.
When cops went inside the building, they found the man who was with the two women dead from multiple stab wounds in his torso, the NYPD said.
Shortly before 11 p.m. Friday, 40-year-old Fausto Rodriguez was fatally shot following a crash on the southbound Cross Bronx Expressway in the vicinity of Jerome Avenue, police said.
Responding cops found the wounded Bronx man near the scene of the crash.

The incident was apparently sparked after one of the drivers involved in the incident returned to the scene, got into an argument with the victim, and shot them, police and sources said.


The suspects then drove off, abandoning their Toyota Rav4.


In Brooklyn, at around 12:15 a.m., a man was shot in the right leg on East 38th Street in Flatbush, cops said. The gunman fired multiple rounds but only hit his target once.

Five people were shot in two separate incidents that took place less than a mile from each other in Bedford-Stuyvesant over the weekend, including one at a Home Depot parking lot.

​

Five people were injured in two separate shootings less than a mile from each other in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, over the weekend, police said.
In the more recent incident of gun violence in the neighborhood, two women and a man, all 19, were shot Sunday at around 5:33 a.m. after coming out of the A/C Nostrand Avenue train station, at the intersection with Fulton Street.
Investigators believe the group of teens and the shooter got into an argument at the subway station, before he followed them out and fired at them in the street, police said.
One of the women was struck once in her lower torso and the other was shot in her buttocks. The male victim was hit once in his right knee, cops said.
The suspect, who was described as a man in his 20s, ran off in an unknown direction after the shooting.
At least 12 shell casings were recovered there by investigators, and police said the probe is ongoing.
The violence followed another shooting less than a mile north on Nostrand Avenue Saturday in which a 26-year-old woman and her boyfriend, 35, were wounded following a dispute over a parking spot at the Home Depot near Dekalb Avenue, police sources said.

The victims were inside the Home Depot parking lot when the gunman fired at their white Hyundai Sonata, with the woman struck in the head and her boyfriend hit in his back and leg.


“I gave him the parking spot,” the boyfriend shouted during the shooting witness Stacee Glenn told the New York Daily News.

Police recovered at least 12 bullet casings at the scene. Seth Gottfried
The couple then rushed out the parking lot in the bullet-riddled car, stopping several blocks away before calling the police.


Officials did not provide any updates on the case Sunday and said they do not have a description of the suspect.
