HARLEM ITCH? Cops Looking For Gunmen Who Raided Home for Allergy Meds

By Staff Reporter

Manhattan Voice

May 19, 2026

NEW YORK, NY - Cops are trying to untangle a home invasion mystery. Why did three gunmen storm into a Harlem apartment to steal allergy medication?

The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s help identifying three suspects wanted in connection with a violent home invasion robbery in Manhattan’s 26th Precinct earlier this month.

According to police, the incident happened on May 17, 2026, at approximately 3:35 p.m. inside a residential building located on Old Broadway between West 131st Street and West 133rd Street in Harlem.

Investigators say two men, ages 24 and 21, were inside their apartment when three unidentified individuals knocked on the door. When the victims answered, the suspects allegedly displayed a firearm and forced their way into the residence.

Police say the suspects stole bottles of promethazine before fleeing the scene on foot. Authorities have not yet released descriptions of the individuals, but surveillance images and attached media are being circulated as part of the ongoing investigation.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the Manhattan home invasion robbery, though residents in the neighborhood say the incident has raised concerns about apartment safety and daytime robberies in Upper Manhattan residential buildings.

Investigators would not comment on the motive for the armed robbery however, promethazine can be used as a sedative and can drowsiness. Officials say when combined with opioids like codeine cough syrup (“lean” or “purple drank”), it has been misused recreationally because it can intensify sedating effects.

It is unclear at this time if the medication was stolen for street drug use.

The NYPD is continuing to investigate the armed robbery in Harlem and is urging anyone with information regarding the suspects’ identities or whereabouts to come forward.

Home invasion robberies in New York City remain a serious concern for both residents and law enforcement, particularly incidents involving firearms and forced entry into occupied apartments. The latest case in the 26 Precinct highlights growing fears among tenants living in residential buildings throughout Manhattan.

Law enforcement officials have not confirmed whether the suspects knew the victims prior to the robbery or whether the apartment was specifically targeted because of the promethazine allegedly stolen during the incident.

Residents near Old Broadway and West 131st Street reported seeing increased police activity following the robbery Sunday afternoon.

After allegedly stealing the promethazine bottles, the three suspects fled the area on foot in an unknown direction, according to investigators. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from nearby buildings and businesses in hopes of identifying the individuals involved.

The NYPD is encouraging anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity near Old Broadway between West 131st and West 133rd Streets on May 17 to contact police.

May 7, 2026

NEW YORK, NY - Score 1 for the Broken Windows theory. Cops nabbing a fare jumper in Brooklyn say they caught a suspect in the Times Square slaying that has gripped the city.

A 17-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with a deadly stabbing near Times Square that left a Massachusetts man dead earlier this week, according to the NYPD.

Police said the teenager was taken into custody early Thursday morning following an ongoing investigation into the violent attack that unfolded late Monday night in Midtown Manhattan.

The suspect, whose identity has not been released because he is a minor, is facing charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Authorities identified the victim as Leonides Baez, 39, of Worcester, Massachusetts who was stabbed to death on Monday night.

According to investigators, officers responded to a 911 call reporting an assault at approximately 11:32 p.m. on May 4 outside 132 West 43rd Street, near Seventh Avenue and just steps from Times Square.

When officers arrived, they discovered Baez suffering from multiple stab wounds to the torso and back, along with a slash wound to the face. EMS rushed him to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was later pronounced dead.

The deadly attack happened near the popular Burger & Lobster restaurant by Bryant Park and close to the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, where the Broadway musical “& Juliet” is currently showing.

Police sources said the teen suspect was arrested Wednesday evening in Brooklyn after officers on patrol at the station allegedly spotted him jumping a turnstile.

During the stop, officers reportedly discovered the teenager carrying a scalpel. Cops soon learned that the suspect was wanted in connection with the Time Square stabbing.

The suspect was officially arrested around 2:30 a.m. Thursday within the confines of the Midtown South Precinct.

Investigators believe the teen was the individual responsible for stabbing Baez during the confrontation Monday night.

Law enforcement sources told reporters the fatal violence may have stemmed from a chance encounter and argument involving Baez and multiple individuals before the stabbing occurred.

Earlier in the investigation, police said they were searching for three possible suspects connected to the homicide. So far, no additional arrests have been announced.

The investigation remains ongoing.

The incident has renewed concerns about late-night violence in one of New York City’s busiest tourist districts.

The stabbing occurred in a heavily traveled section of Midtown near theaters, restaurants, hotels, and major subway lines frequently packed with tourists and commuters.

Authorities have not said whether additional suspects could still face charges.

NYPD Seeks Suspects in Citywide Subway Necklace Theft Pattern Across Multiple Precincts

noreply@blogger.com (Bronx Voice) — Wed, 06 May 2026 23:20:09 +0000

Citywide Chain Snatchers Wanted for Targeting Subway Riders

By Staff Reporter

Manhattan Voice

May 6, 2026

NEW YORK, NY - Cops are searching for a chain snatching crew that are targeting subway riders throughout the city.

According to police, the incidents—classified as a citywide grand larceny pattern involving necklace snatching on NYC subways—have taken place across several precincts, including Midtown South, the 44th, 110th, and 115th Precincts. While no injuries have been reported, the repeated nature of the crimes has raised concerns among daily commuters.

Investigators say the suspects are using a similar approach in each case: quietly approaching victims from behind on trains or platforms, removing jewelry, and quickly fleeing on foot. Most incidents involve necklaces, though one case escalated to a more aggressive confrontation.

The pattern has primarily unfolded in and around busy subway stations, making it particularly concerning for those who rely on public transit.

On April 28, 2026, at around 12:25 p.m., a 20-year-old man was exiting the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74 Street station in Queens when three individuals approached him from behind and removed his necklace. The group fled toward Broadway.

Later that same day, at approximately 2:20 p.m., an 18-year-old woman was riding a Number 4 train near Jerome Avenue and West Mount Eden Avenue in the Bronx when two individuals used the same tactic—approaching from behind and snatching her necklace before fleeing.

The incidents continued into May.

On May 1, at about 1:15 p.m., a 15-year-old boy aboard a northbound Number 7 train approaching 74 Street–Broadway station was targeted in a nearly identical manner. A single individual removed his necklace and escaped.

The following day, May 2, at around 6:30 p.m., an 18-year-old man standing on the northbound Number 7 train platform at 42 Street–Grand Central station in Manhattan fell victim to the same type of theft.

The pattern took a more alarming turn on May 3. At approximately 4:20 p.m., a 41-year-old man standing in front of 37-71 Junction Boulevard in Queens was approached by a group of six individuals. One of them simulated having a knife while another removed the victim’s headphones before the group fled.

While necklace snatching incidents in NYC subway stations are not unheard of, police say the consistency of the method and the geographic spread across multiple boroughs make this case notable.

Key similarities include:

Victims targeted from behind

Quick removal of visible valuables like chains or headphones

Immediate escape on foot

Occurrences in high-traffic transit areas

The escalation in the May 3 incident—where a weapon was implied—adds urgency to the investigation.

The NYPD is urging anyone who may recognize the individuals or have information related to these incidents to come forward.

As subway theft patterns in New York City continue to evolve, authorities are reminding riders to stay aware of their surroundings, especially in crowded stations and train cars.

May 5, 2026

NEW YORK, NY - Cops are looking for a female subway rider who inexplicably attacker an elderly woman on the train at a Soho train station.

According to authorities, this case centers around an unprovoked assault on a 77-year-old woman on a New York City subway train, an event that has raised fresh concerns about rider safety across the transit system.

Police report that the incident took place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at approximately 3:25 pm. The victim was riding aboard a southbound D train as it passed through the Broadway–Lafayette Subway Station.

Out of nowhere, the elderly woman was approached by another rider. Investigators say the suspect then struck the victim in the face, resulting in pain and visible swelling. The shocking nature of this daytime subway assault at Broadway-Lafayette station in Manhattan has drawn attention because it occurred during busy afternoon hours.

After the attack, the suspect quickly fled the scene, remaining on the train and heading to an unknown destination. This has made identifying her more difficult, prompting police to release details to the public.

EMS responded promptly and treated the victim at the scene. Fortunately, her injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, but the incident highlights the vulnerability of older adults in public transit environments.

Cases like this continue to fuel concern around violent incidents involving elderly victims on NYC public transportation, especially as the system serves millions of riders daily.

Authorities have provided a description in hopes that someone may recognize the individual. The suspect is described as a female with a dark complexion and a heavy build. She was last seen wearing a black shirt with an “Arrow Security” logo on the sleeve. She also wore black pants and black boots.

The NYPD is actively investigating and urging anyone with information to come forward. Even small details could be critical in solving the case.

Officials are particularly interested in tips related to the suspect’s identity or whereabouts, especially from anyone who may have been on the train or platform at the time.

NEW YORK, NY - The discovery of a body of a man stabbed to death near Times Square shocked residents and stoked new fears of the bad old days of NYC returning.

On Monday night, a man was fatally stabbed in an alleyway just steps away from the bright lights of Times Square. According to authorities, officers responded to a 911 call reporting an assault at approximately 11:30 p.m. near 132 West 43rd Street. What they found was a brutal scene that has now turned into an active homicide investigation.

The victim, identified only as a 39-year-old man, suffered multiple stab wounds to his torso and back, along with a deep slash wound to his face.

Emergency responders rushed him to a nearby hospital, but despite their efforts, he did not survive.

Police say the attack happened in an alleyway beside a popular restaurant, a location that typically sees heavy foot traffic. The bloodbath took place down the block from the Town Hall theater which had performances from such plays as “Suffs.”

The contrast between the area’s usual energy and the violence of the incident has raised concerns among locals and visitors alike.

At this point, investigators are focusing on fatal stabbing near Times Square Monday night, a case that remains unsolved as of Tuesday morning. Detectives believe three men were involved in the attack and are actively working to identify and locate them. So far, no arrests have been made.

Officials have not yet released the victim’s identity, as they are still working to notify family members. Meanwhile, the NYPD continues to gather evidence and review surveillance footage from nearby businesses in hopes of piecing together what led to the deadly encounter.

Crimes like this are rare in heavily trafficked tourist zones, which is why violent crime near Times Square late night assault case is drawing heightened attention. The investigation is still in its early stages, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

For now, the alleyway has returned to its usual quiet state, but the questions surrounding what happened there remain very much alive. Authorities are expected to release more information as the investigation develops.

NYC Health Department Launches Campaign on Alcohol and Cancer Risk Awareness

City Launches Ad Campaign Linking Drinking to Cancer

NEW YORK, NY - New York City is taking a more direct approach to public health—and this time, it’s about something many people don’t think twice about: alcohol.

The New York City Health Department has rolled out a new awareness campaign aimed at helping residents better understand the connection between drinking and cancer. At its core, the initiative focuses on one key message: there is a clear and proven link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk, and even moderate drinking can have consequences.

This citywide effort is already visible across subways, social media feeds, bars, and community outlets. The goal is simple but urgent—make sure New Yorkers have the facts they need to make informed choices.

For years, alcohol has been widely normalized in social settings, often viewed as relatively harmless in moderation. But health experts are now emphasizing a different reality. According to the campaign, even one drink per day increases risk for multiple types of cancer, including breast, liver, colorectal, and throat cancers.

That’s why a major focus of the campaign is education. Many people simply don’t realize the risks. In fact, only about half of U.S. adults are aware of the connection between alcohol and cancer. This campaign aims to close that gap with clear, evidence-based information about alcohol-related cancer risks.

The timing isn’t random. Alcohol-related health issues continue to place a heavy burden on New York City. From chronic disease to hospital admissions, the impact is significant.

Recent data shows thousands of new cancer cases each year in NYC alone, including breast, colorectal, and liver cancers. While alcohol isn’t the only cause, it is a contributing factor that’s often overlooked. That’s why officials are highlighting how reducing alcohol intake can lower cancer risk over time.

This campaign is also part of a broader initiative to improve life expectancy across the city. By focusing on prevention, early detection, and lifestyle changes, health leaders hope to reduce deaths from preventable cancers.

One of the most important takeaways? You don’t have to quit drinking entirely to make a difference. The campaign emphasizes practical strategies for reducing alcohol consumption and improving long-term health. Even small changes can have a meaningful impact.

Another key component of the campaign is accessibility to help. For those who may be concerned about their drinking habits, the city is making resources more visible and easier to access.

Residents are encouraged to talk with trusted individuals or professionals and explore support options. Services like NYC 988 provide confidential help via call, text, or chat, with multilingual support available.

The campaign also directs people to online resources where they can learn more about how to reduce alcohol use safely and find local support services.

Perhaps the most significant goal of this initiative is cultural. By bringing this information into everyday spaces—from subway ads to social media—the city is working to reshape how people think about alcohol.

Instead of treating it as a harmless routine, the campaign encourages people to consider the long-term effects and make more mindful decisions. It’s about shifting awareness and normalizing conversations around the health risks of regular alcohol consumption and cancer prevention.

This isn’t about fear—it’s about facts. The NYC Health Department wants residents to understand that alcohol is a known carcinogen and that informed choices can make a real difference.

By focusing on education, accessibility, and prevention, the campaign aims to empower New Yorkers with accurate information about alcohol and cancer risk so they can make healthier lifestyle decisions.

And in a city that thrives on fast-paced living, that kind of awareness might be one of the most powerful tools of all.

NEW YORK, NY - An argument over putting food on lay away led to the fatal shooting that took the life of bodega worker Abdul Saleh. Now police have made an arrest and community residents are left scratching their heads over why someone would kill over such a minor issue.

The quiet streets of Manhattan’s East Village were shattered late Saturday night in what police say became a deadly dispute outside a neighborhood deli. Now, investigators have made an arrest in the case that has left one man dead and another recovering in the hospital.

According to the NYPD, the incident began at approximately 11:38 p.m. on April 25, 2026, when officers responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting near East 13th Street and Avenue B. What they found upon arrival painted a chaotic and tragic scene—two 28-year-old men suffering from gunshot wounds to the torso.

Emergency responders quickly transported both victims to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. Despite efforts to save him, one of the victims, identified as Abdul Saleh, was pronounced dead. The second victim survived and remains in stable condition.

Police say the violence stemmed from what witnesses described as a heated argument inside Sal’s Deli & Grocery. The situation escalated rapidly, spilling out onto the sidewalk where gunfire erupted.

Eyewitness accounts are helping piece together what happened. One nearby resident reported hearing multiple gunshots and rushing outside to assist, performing chest compressions on the wounded deli worker before first responders arrived. Moments like these have become central to the ongoing investigation.

Authorities now say that the suspect, 28-year-old Kavone Horton of East 13th Street, was arrested the following day—Sunday, April 26, 2026—at approximately 6:25 p.m. within the confines of the 9th Precinct.

Horton has been charged with multiple serious offenses, including murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

This case is drawing significant attention not only because of its tragic outcome but also due to the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Investigators believe the argument began when Horton allegedly attempted to obtain food on credit, which Saleh refused. That disagreement quickly intensified, ultimately turning deadly.

Officials continue to examine surveillance footage and gather statements as they work to fully understand the sequence of events. The case has also prompted broader concerns, with many asking about “violent crime incidents in East Village Manhattan 2026” and how disputes can escalate so quickly.

In response to the tragedy, the United Bodegas of America has stepped in, offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to further clarity and accountability. The organization’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the case and the urgency felt by local business owners.

For now, one family is grieving, another victim is recovering, and a neighborhood is left trying to make sense of how a late-night dispute turned into a fatal act of violence.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing.
