Authorities say the 50-year-old victim was walking on Liberty Avenue around 3 a.m. when he was approached by a man and punched in the face.

A baby reveal party turned bad when a 34-year-old man was fatally shot in a Bronx park Sunday morning.

Matthew Cruz was shot in the head and back on a paved path inside Rainey Park near Beck St. and Intervale Ave. around 7:35 a.m., police said. Medics rushed Cruz to Lincoln Hospital but he could not be saved.

Family members said Cruz was attending the party earlier in the night when he continued the celebration in the park.

The NYPD has named a suspect in a Bronx shooting that left three people dead — one of them a woman handing out flyers when gunfire erupted last week.

Investigators think the shooting was gang-related, and Tarver was the intended target.

A predator who tried to rape a woman at knifepoint in her Brooklyn home is off the streets, police said.

Darryl Williams, 25, was busted Saturday and charged with attempted rape, strangulation, assault and other charges.

A murderous band of Bloods gang members who treated shootings like a sports “scoreboard” were brought low in a sweeping, two-year investigation, Brooklyn prosecutors said.

Eighteen members of the Martense-Beverly Bosses were rounded up on a string of charges that linked gang members to two murders and six nonfatal shootings targeting their rivals in the Folk Nation.

A deranged husband hacked off his pregnant wife’s right arm below her biceps, and cut off two of the fingers of her left hand at their Brooklyn home on Thursday, police sources said.

The hubby, identified by sources as Yong Lu, 35, used a steak knife to chop off the arm and sever two fingers on her other limb in their apartment on 55th St. near Fifth Ave. in Sunset Park around 12:20 p.m., cops said.

Police are searching for a man in connection with an assault of several women with a cane in Queens.

Authorities say 50-year-old Jose Reyes is the man responsible for attacking three women on June 20 in the Pollo Camparo restaurant on Roosevelt Avenue in Corona.

A Bronx shooting victim made a final, desperate bid to drive away from his attacker before collapsing in his car Tuesday, cops said.

Jose Velez, 22, was sitting in his Honda Accord, with his girlfriend, when he started arguing with a man on Van Nest Ave. and Unionport Road in Van Nest just after 4:05 p.m., cops said.

The gang-related stabbing of a teenager on the Bronx River Parkway has been linked to the stabbing death of 15-year-old Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz, NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said Wednesday.

Shea said the incidents are connected beyond the fact that the same gang -- the Trinitarios -- was involved in both stabbings, but would not specify further. He did not talk about a motive or give additional details

A member of the same bloodthirsty gang that murdered a teenager outside a Bronx bodega and knifed another on the Bronx River Parkway has been charged with stabbing and robbing a man on the Upper East Side, cops said.

Missael Alvarez, 16, who cops describe as a member of the Trinitarios street gang, was busted Thursday night on robbery charges.

Police are asking for tips via social media for a burglary at a McDonald's restaurant in Dongan Hills.

The crime occurred on June 18 at about 1:57 a.m. in the McDonald's at 1388 Hylan Blvd., according to a post on the 122nd Precinct Twitter feed.

Police are searching for two men and a woman wanted for an attack on a woman and two teens in the subway.

It happened aboard a C train near the Jay Street subway station in Brooklyn on June 16.

A Staten Island man died Sunday after a brutal beating inside a Stapleton home about two weeks ago, authorities said.

Lionel Inocent, 68, was punched in the face multiple times at a Targee Street residence, near Laurel Avenue, at around 2:20 a.m. on June 16, according to an NYPD spokeswoman.

The NYPD is looking for a man they say exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl on a subway platform in Queens.

Police say it happened inside the J and Z train subway station at 75th Street and Elderts Lane in Woodhaven on June 14.

Homicides are down so far this year on Staten Island, except for one neighborhood where two were reported in less than two weeks.

Last month, investigators responded to a shooting and a stabbing in Stapleton, within blocks of each other. One outside of a bar on a public street and the other inside a luxury apartment building, respectively.

The NYPD is seeking the public's assistance in identifying a man sought for questioning in connection with a fist fight at a beach-side restaurant, which police say left a 62-year-old woman with injuries.

The fight was reported June 9 at about 12:30 a.m., when an unidentified man involved in a physical altercation with another man inadvertently struck a person in the face with a chair, according to a post to the 122nd precinct's Twitter account.

It’s game over for Robert Taylor, the man police say is wanted for a string of robberies at GameStop stores throughout Manhattan, officials said Wednesday.

Taylor, 48, was apprehended in lower Manhattan early Wednesday, according to the commanding officer of the 1st Precinct, who tweeted about the apprehension.

A stick-up crew scored more than $100,000 in a string of violent robberies in Manhattan and Queens this year, police said Wednesday.

Most recently, the crooks netted $60,000 in cash and $20,000 in checks when they robbed a construction company payroll in Corona, Queens, said cops.

— Wall Street Journal: Politicians and advocates in major cities are scrutinizing police departments for the way they label and track suspected gang members, saying the methods lack oversight and unfairly expose minorities to the criminal justice system.

Police departments in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago use databases that include thousands of people, mostly minorities, some of whom haven’t been arrested for a crime.

More than a half-dozen Trinitarios gang members went berserk in a city jail on Saturday, smashing windows and toppling furniture after one of them learned a friend would be moved to another facility, sources told The Post.

The mini-riot — on the 800-bed Vernon C. Bain Center jail barge — was so violent that a correction officer tried to break it up using pepper spray, but wound up fleeing for her life, the sources said.

Wall Street Journal: “The NYPD is slowly embedding analysts into specialty squads as well. Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea, who is doing a “top to bottom” review ...”

New York Post: “supported the facilitator’s recommendations, with some minor tweaks, while the NYPD has rejected it, saying that it “is neither practical”

“Like all successful politicians, Mayor Bill de Blasio knows how to present bad news as good news. To aide him, he has enablers at the NYPD.”

THREE WEEKS INTO his new job as commanding officer of Manhattan’s 20th precinct, Captain Timothy J. Malin stared at a map on his computer screen, puzzled. It showed his jurisdiction carved up by streets and parks, with the southern edge encased in an ominous shade of red.

For decades, the New York Police Department has used real-time statistics to chart spikes in violence and calibrate police activity across the city. This map, however, displayed not crime data but something new in the arsenal of police metrics: public approval. The crimson on Malin’s map indicated that some residents in his precinct, the Upper West Side—one of New York City’s wealthiest and safest neighborhoods—reported feeling little trust in his officers. It was Malin’s job to figure out why. “I look at that, and I am like, ‘Okay? What’s causing this?’” he said.

The NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office are locked in a bitter standoff over what information cops will turn over to prosecutors, and when and how that handoff happens.

The DA wants systematic electronic access to police disciplinary records and investigative files, including witness reports, to understand cases’ strengths and weaknesses, drop charges when appropriate, and, when the law requires, share evidence with defense attorneys. The police say they’re already being perfectly responsive, and claim Vance is overreaching dangerously by trying to get an unfiltered pipeline into the most sensitive files.

An unarmed black man holding a cellphone, Stephon Clark, is fatally shot in his grandmother’s backyard in Sacramento and residents ask whether the officers only saw race when pulling their triggers 20 times.

Saheed Vassell, a mentally ill black man waving a pistol-shaped metal car part at pedestrians, is gunned down by police officers on a street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and the outrage focuses on whether deep-seated prejudices fueled the quick use of deadly force.

Two black men are led in handcuffs from a Starbucks in Philadelphia and alarm bells go off: Had the officers unconsciously adopted the racial bias of the store employee who called the police?

While explicit bias remains part of the fabric of life in the United States, elected leaders and chiefs of police have increasingly focused on what is often called implicit bias, inherently unintentional yet more pervasive.

Ever wonder why Bryant Park and Union Square are junkie-free but not always Washington Square Park?

That’s because New York University, which owns most of the buildings surrounding the park, has a love/hate relationship with the community.

We sure hope the whiplash didn't hurt state Sen. Marty Golden too much.

Golden — a Brooklyn Republican whose political shenanigans at the end of session in Albany last month helped deep-six widely supported plans to reup, much less expand, life-saving speed cameras on city streets — succumbed to political pressure Wednesday, finally urging Senate leader John Flanagan to convene a special session to right the wrong before the cams go dark July 25

An 8 percent jump in homicides citywide is troubling; more worrisome is that it’s driven by a nearly 65 percent spike in the Bronx. We trust the NYPD to turn the numbers around — but can only hope it will have the full support of local politicians.

To be fair, the percentage increase is so big mostly because New York’s Finest have brought crime so far down over the last quarter-century: The 51 homicides in the Bronx in the first six months of the year is up just 20 over the same period in 2017.

Mayor de Blasio attended a police-statistics briefing Tuesday detailing the city’s gang-driven murder spike, and invited two fellow pols — who blindsided the NYPD’s top cop with gripes about crime in their districts.

Just as Police Commissioner James O’Neill opened up to media questions about his department’s latest stats — including an 8.1 percent rise in slayings — de Blasio interrupted to turn the mic over to his guests.

New York Post: “Warring gangs have driven New York’s murder rate to an 8 percent spike through the first half of the year, authorities said Tuesday. The city saw 147 murders through the...”

Gothamist: “While the city's overall crime rate continues to drop, the first six months of this year saw a spike in the number of rapes and murders, the NYPD announced on Tuesday.”

Wall Street Journal: “Murders and rapes have increased in New York City so far this year, even as overall crime continues to fall to historic lows, the NYPD said Tuesday.”

New York Post: “The NYPD on Tuesday defended their use of a $3 million counterterrorism plane to shuttle Mayor Bill de Blasio back and forth between the city and his Canadian vacation. “

New York Post: The NYPD told Bronx precinct bosses to make sure there are no prisoners in their station house for Mayor de Blasio's Tuesday press ...

New York Post: “A 12th suspect in the brutal slaying of a Bronx teenager was picked up in Connecticut on Monday, law enforcement sources said. Luis A. Cabrarasantos, 25, was pulled over by...”

NY Post: “New York started following San Francisco’s lead in 2016 when Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. announced his office would no longer be prosecuting offenses such as public urination. Both cities have accepted that they’ll continue to have a large number of people living on their streets and inevitably using their sidewalks as a toilet.”

The Crime Report:  “New York City will spend $1.8 million this year to roll out “mobile trauma units” — buses filled with counselors and peacekeepers — to crime scenes throughout the city in an effort to ease tensions in communities after acts of gun violence”

AM NY: In June, New York City just missed matching its lowest crime report ever for that month by 28 incidents, a top NYPD official said Wednesday.”

NY Daily News: “A training curriculum could turn witnesses to crimes into proactive good Samaritans, a Bronx City Council member proposed Monday in the wake of allegations that bodega workers didn’t do enough to help a teen who was dragged from their store and fatally stabbed.”

NY Daily News: “Gang violence is ugly in any form, but the killing of Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz was an unspeakably savage act. The images of him being dragged from a store and then repeatedly stabbed and hacked are the definition of horror. The depraved indifference to this boy’s life is made all the worse in that the child who the gang was destroying wasn’t even their intended target.”

NY Post: “The Bronx teen who became a cause célèbre for bail reform has been arrested — for the 12th time — for driving offenses, sources told The Post on Monday. Pedro Hernandez was nabbed Sunday night at Jerome Avenue and 170th Street in the Bronx for weaving in and out of traffic, sources said.”

NY Post: “NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill called on Bronx residents to help clear the borough’s streets of bloodthirsty gangbangers — like the Trinitarios thugs behind the “unspeakable” murder of young Lesandro Guzman-Feliz.”

NY Daily News: “Let there be no misunderstanding, now that young Lesandro Guzman-Feliz lies in the earth, the blood let from his neck like an animal: The slaughter of a promising 15-year-old Bronx boy known as Junior at the hands of criminal gang members who mistook him for their intended target cannot be left to melt in the heat of passions over the proper reach of the criminal justice system into the lives of young men of color.”

NY Post: “One of the most scrutinized police forces in America — the NYPD — is facing yet more oversight: An outside panel is launching a 120-day review of the department’s discipline policies. This time, for a change, it’s warranted.”

NY Post: “Murders in the Bronx have skyrocketed in 2018, nearly doubling compared to the same period last year, according to newly released crime statistics from the NYPD.”

WSJ: “The New York Police Department said Tuesday that its Special Victims Division will carry out all acquaintance and domestic sex-crime investigations even after an immediate arrest is made, no longer relying on precinct detectives to gather evidence and complete such investigations. The department announced the change in its response to a highly critical report by New York City’s Department of Investigation in March that accused top brass of failing to adequately staff the division.

NY Daily News: “One tragedy of the recently ended state legislative session is that New York has again failed to take action on a basic penal reform that should have been fixed decades ago: the indefensible practice of jailing people accused of minor crimes simply because they lack a few hundred dollars to make bail.”

NY Post: “The NYPD released a response to a scathing Inspector General’s report on Tuesday, stating that they were working to “strengthen and bolster” the Special Victim’s Division while taking issue with some the IGs findings.”

NY Post: “A trio of City Council members says the deli owner who didn’t intervene when gangbangers dragged an innocent teen from his deli and slaughtered him should have his store shuttered.”

NY Daily News: “A Bronx teen whose jail horror story became the backdrop for a debate on reforming the city’s bail system will likely have a traffic case against him dismissed. Pedro Hernandez, 18, was picked up in Washington Heights earlier this month and brought to Manhattan Criminal Court after he made an illegal U-turn while driving on a suspended license, authorities said.”

NY Daily News: “The city released thousands of pages of incident reports Friday to state overseers, documenting everything from assaults to drug dealing to arrests inside homeless shelters. The release followed a Daily News expose in May documenting how the city Department of Homeless Services had stopped reporting hundreds of arrests for a wide variety of criminal activity inside shelters across the city. That included not reporting assaults that didn’t result in visible injury.

City Limits: “Official stop numbers have plummeted since a groundbreaking federal lawsuit in 2013 ruled the NYPD’s stop and frisk tactics unconstitutional. But those statistics only reflect the most serious type of stop. Other encounters which don’t meet the standard of a high-level stop take place without leaving a trace in the public record. While the NYPD calls such stops “low-level,” advocates say they can still leave residents feeling intimidated and targeted, such as when the officer approached Dister and his friend.”

NY Post: “Gangbangers peddle drugs in plain sight, hustlers resell cheap booze on the street corner — 50 cents will get you a capful — and prostitutes lead johns to the boarded-up husk of what used to be a Taco Bell. This is Tompkinsville Park on Staten Island’s North Shore in 2018 and, to area residents and merchants caught in its heroin- and K2-infested vortex, this is a battlefield.”

Wall Street Journal: “New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s new marijuana policy was met with a backlash from the Manhattan district attorney and advocates, who said the change wouldn’t do enough to diminish racial disparities among those who face punishment for the low-level crime.”

ABC 7 News: “New York City unveiled a major new plan concerning marijuana enforcement Tuesday. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner James O'Neill discussed the new policy, which for some people means they won't be arrested if they are caught with pot. It comes after critics accused the prior policy of targeting minorities and for being too harsh.

NY Daily News: “Never mind the “gang database” alarmism. That the NYPD keeps a list of members of groups thought to be involved in street crime — the better to prevent violence and catch perpetrators — should comfort New Yorkers.

ABC 7 News: “The NYPD is rolling out its plan to counter the typical summer spike in crime. "Summer All Out" is a program the NYPD launched four years ago. It calls for putting more police officers in the streets during the hottest months of the year.”

CBS 2 News: “The NYPD’s gang database is a list designed to fight gangs in the city, but some argue it’s being used to brand the innocent.”

NY Times: “By a slim margin, the New York City Council on Tuesday approved two bills requiring changes to day-to-day interactions between police officers and those they encounter on the street, measures that drew strong opposition from both criminal justice reform groups and the city’s largest officers’ union.”

NY Post: “The NYPD slammed a City Council bill that encourages citizens to sue the city when cops stop them from recording police activity or seize their recording equipment. The proposal, sponsored by Councilman Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn), would create a city law recognizing people’s right to record police activity and would allow them to sue for damages and attorney’s fees for interference.”

NY Times: “A new law enacted in June gave New York City police officers the discretion to issue a civil summons, rather than a criminal one, for offenses such as public urination and public drinking. It appears that many officers have opted to do neither.”

NY Times: “After years of public debate and months of negotiations, New York City began directing its police officers on Tuesday to issue civil tickets rather than criminal summonses for petty offenses such as public drinking and public urination.”
