NEW YORK CITY POLICE

A federal grand jury has indicted a man suspected of shooting up a New York City subway train last month — an attack that wounded 10 people and rattled a city grappling with a rise in violent crime.

About 9,000 New York City municipal workers were put on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that took effect Monday and thousands of city firefighters have called out sick in an apparent protest over the requirement.

Police say the rider of an unlicensed electric scooter involved in the hit-and-run death of “Gone Girl” actor Lisa Banes was well aware he hit her and fled to a repair shop afterward seeking to fix damages on the vehicle.

In this photo taken from police body cam video, New York Police officers arrest a man on a boardwalk Sunday, June 21, 2020, in New York. The police department moved quickly to suspend Officer David Afanador without pay after Sunday's confrontation on the boardwalk at Rockaway Beach in Queens. In that case, Afanador was seen on video using his gun to hit a 16-year-old boy during a marijuana bust. I put out the body camera footage yesterday and I think it tells a very different story than the initial video, Shea said. The speed with which the NYPD suspended Afanador stood in sharp contrast to the drawn-out police disciplinary process of years past.

NEW YORK - When New York City Police officers saw a woman accused of shoplifting at a Manhattan Whole Foods store on Thursday, they didn't arrest her; instead, they paid for her meal. A store security guard asked three officers on a break from patrol Thursday to confront a woman who was suspected of shoplifting. "We'll pay for her food," Sojo said, to the surprise of the security guard and passersby. "I can imagine if I were standing there with a security guard, I'd assume the worst," said local documentary filmmaker Paul Bozymowski, who shared the photo on Twitter. Neither the Whole Foods store nor its corporate office responded to a request for comment.
