A Brooklyn good Samaritan who helped two women evade a stranger stalking them ended up being stabbed by the suspect, he recounted to the Daily News . The 26-year-old good Samaritan and a friend intervened after being approached by one of the women in Kensington on June 21. “I would do it again,” the wounded good Samaritan said. “If we weren’t there, who knows what he would’ve done to her? I hope she is good. I hope she is safe.” Cops have released a surveillance photo of the suspect, dressed in a gray hoodie and gray sweatpants, and are asking the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down. The bizarre chain of events began when the first victim, a 31-year-old woman on her way home from work, was approached by the stranger near Coney Island Ave. and Cortelyou Road about 1 a.m., according to cops. “He tried to talk to me from afar because he noticed that I noticed him. And he was, like, ‘I go this direction. I live in this direction.’ He kept saying that out loud,” said ...

The Trinitarios gang member who delivered the fatal stab to 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz has died in state prison custody, public records show, less than a month after he was re-sentenced for the Bronx teen’s shocking murder. Jonaiki Martinez Estrella, 31, is listed as “deceased” as of Friday on the state Corrections Department’s online inmate locator. No other details about his death were immediately available Sunday. He was being housed in the maximum-security Coxscakie Correctional Facility. Junior’s caught-on-video June 20, 2018 killing horrified and outraged the city.

As Aaron Boone prepared for Saturday’s game against the A’s, he was asked what he would like to see from Marcus Stroman’s return to the rotation on Sunday . “A good outing,” the Yankees skipper said with a smile. While that’s always the hope, recent results suggest achieving that will be easier said than done for Stroman. The 34-year-old has had a rough year, recording an 11.57 ERA over three early-season starts before being sidelined by left knee inflammation. Now the right-hander is coming off a rehab assignment that saw him record a 6.97 ERA over 10.1 innings and three starts at Double-A Somerset. Stroman’s final rehab outing on June 24 was particularly poor, as he totaled 10 hits, five earned runs, two walks and one strikeout over 3.2 innings. Boone acknowledged that that start “wasn’t great” on a “smoking hot day,” but the manager felt the first two rehab games went well. Stroman allowed three earned runs, walked three and struck out eight over 6.2 innings in those two start...

Fresh off the heels of their eight-year divorce battle, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are gearing up for a courtroom face-off over their winery in the south of France . Pitt, 61, anticipates the trial concerning Château Miraval will span 15 days, though its start date has not yet been set , according to court documents filed last Friday and obtained by Us Weekly. The “F1” star and 50-year-old Jolie — once together known as “Brangelina” — purchased the $164 million Provence winery in 2008, six years before getting married on the property and eight years before separating in 2016 . Jolie hoped in the summer of 2021 to sell her stake in the winery, but Pitt sued her the following year for “vindictively” selling her shares to a Russian oligarch, in violation of their agreement that required Pitt’s approval. In the wake of Jolie claiming that her ex was “looting” Château Miraval in an effort to devalue the property, the pair agreed in July 2023 to settle out of court . But things took...

Brian Wilson’s cause of death has been revealed, a little more than two weeks after the Beach Boys co-founder died at age 82. According to the death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer died of respiratory arrest, though sepsis and cystitis were also listed as significant contributing conditions. Respiratory arrest occurs when the heart is still beating but the lungs give out, leading a person to stop breathing , per the American CPR Care Association. Chronic respiratory failure, chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea and neurodegenerative disorder were also identified as associated factors in Wilson’s death. His family announced his dementia diagnosis early last year. Wilson died earlier this month, his “heartbroken” family confirmed in a June 11 statement on social media . “We are at a loss for words right now,” they said. They asked for privacy as the family grieves their “b...

New York Democrats cast ballots Tuesday under smothering summer heat to choose the likely next leader of the largest U.S. city, someone voters say must resist President Donald Trump and provide relief to high costs of living. With about a dozen candidates offering a range of personalities and proposals, the race is an increasingly tight contest between former governor Andrew Cuomo, 67, and state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, 33, who has mounted a surprise challenge to the better-known but tainted frontrunner.

A mobbed-up hit-and-run truck driver wanted for fatally striking a Queens bicyclist while fleeing NYPD cops has been charged with murder after eight months, police said Monday. Bikem Fiseku, an ex-con on federal probation with ties to the Bonnano crime family, is accused of killing 37-year-old Amanda Servedio in the Oct. 22 crash. “We hope he gets what he deserves,” the victim’s father, Frank Servedio, 73, told the Daily News Monday. “We wanted him to be arrested and we want him to serve time and be punished for what he did.” The crash raised anew concerns about the NYPD’s sometimes dangerous chasing of suspects. “We were certainly upset that they didn’t stop the chase,” the victim’s father said of the NYPD. “It was probably not the place to be doing a high-speed chase, in the residential neighborhood, and we were very upset that that’s what actually happened.” Police say Fiseku, 54, sped off from officers responding to a call about a burglary in progress at a home on Crescent St...

At least three people were killed in a small North Dakota town as tornadoes ripped through the state. All three victims lived in Enderlin , a town of 800 residents about 40 miles southwest of Fargo, according to the Cass County sheriff’s office. They have been publicly identified only as two men and a woman. “Our hearts and sympathies go out to the family and friends of the three North Dakotans who tragically lost their lives in Friday’s tornado, and to the close-knit community in Enderlin, which suffered widespread damage ,” Republican Gov. Kelly Armstrong said Saturday while declaring a state of emergency. The first tornadoes touched down late Friday night, and the storm continued overnight into Saturday morning, officials said. At least two twisters were confirmed in the region, but the National Weather Service said it would take a few days to determine the full extent of the storm. “We still have people out investigating and gathering information on what happened,” NWS Grand ...

Shortly before the Yankees and Orioles ’ series finale began at 11:35 a.m., Yankee Stadium’s public address system described the matchup as a “Sunday morning melee.” In that case, Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered the most devastating blow in the divisional showdown, as his two-run double off the right-center field wall in the eighth inning paved the way for a 4-2, series-winning victory over Baltimore. Jazz kept his cleats on for this ride pic.twitter.com/wjF02wulyz — New York Yankees (@Yankees) June 22, 2025 Chisholm’s drive came off Orioles righty Bryan Baker. It also preceded a groundball from DJ LeMahieu, which scored Chisholm and provided an insurance run. That wasn’t the only time the infielders sparked the Bombers on Sunday, as LeMahieu smoked a 107.9-mph single off Dean Kramer in the second inning. That cut the deficit to one and saw Chisholm score after losing his cleat and then colliding with catcher Maverick Handley, who had to venture up the third base line to receiv...

A graduation ceremony at a Long Island high school this weekend is shaping up to be a double-take affair, with 15 sets of twins expected to cross the stage, receive their diplomas and mark the start of a new chapter. Among the nearly 500 students graduating from Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School in Nassau County, 30 of them are twins. That means approximately 6% of the graduating class consists of twin siblings — far higher than the world average. According to a 2021 study, about 3.2 million twins (or 1.6 million pairs) are born each year, making up roughly 2.3% of all births globally.

Daily News management is demanding Mayor Adams reverse his stated ban on the paper’s senior City Hall reporter from mayoral press conferences, calling the move a violation of The News’ constitutional rights. An attorney for the paper made the demand in a letter sent to the city’s Law Department Friday. “ Banning [senior City Hall reporter Chris] Sommerfeldt from attending the Mayor’s press conferences i s plainly unconstitutional,” attorney Matthew Leish wrote, citing both 1st and 14th amendment issues.
