Police said the bloody assault occurred along a pathway in the vicinity of Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue in Bath Beach at about 8:20 p.m. on Oct. 30.

Sources familiar with the investigation said the victim, a 28-year-old woman, was running through the area on her own when an unidentified attacker suddenly stabbed her in the neck.

The motive for the assault is unknown at this time, and police do not yet know whether it was a random attack, the sources said.

Officers from the 62nd Precinct found the wounded victim after receiving a 911 call about the stabbing. EMS rushed her to NYU Langone-Brooklyn hospital, where she was listed in critical condition.

So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation. Police did not yet have a description of the suspect available. 

Throughout Saturday, an NYPD spokesperson said it had numerous special teams out canvassing the area for clues, including the Brooklyn South Detective Squad, Scuba and Aviation teams, K9 officers, and drones.

Anyone with information regarding the stabbing can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Through Oct. 25, the 62nd Precinct had reported 237 felony assaults year-to-date, up 17.3% from the 202 reported at the same point last year.

O’Neil’s love of running began in childhood.

“I always loved running, though as a child I was never on a team,” she said.

Her great-grandfather was a successful runner in Ireland who earned several accolades. O’Neil spent much of her childhood admiring his legacy, along with those of her uncles, who were also runners. Their influence helped spark her fascination with the sport.

But what really planted the seed for the school principal was watching the 1976 New York City Marathon, the first race to span all five boroughs.

“I was teaching, and somebody said oh my god they’re having a marathon going over the [Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge] for the very first time, they're going to run through the boroughs. And I heard it and I thought how amazing that would be. So the seed was planted,” O'Neil told Brooklyn Paper. “My own children were runners. They all went on to run track and run in college experiences as well.”

For the 73-year-old, her running journey began with local charity races as a teacher, raising money to benefit her students and the surrounding community. Now, she is preparing to run her 15th marathon after taking up the challenge in 2005, when she was in her 50s.

Even with years of experience under her belt, O’Neil never loses sight of the other runners around her and the individual journeys each person brings to the race.

“Running a marathon to me is a [message that] we all start at some point, we all come with our own baggage — visible and invisible, we all have strengths, we all have needs, and we have a desire to do our best,'” she said.

Every marathon runner eventually faces a difficult stretch when fatigue and pain begin to set in, making the finish line feel even farther away. For O’Neil, that moment comes around mile 20.

“From [miles] 20 to 26.2 two, so the 6.2 miles are challenging for me," she said. "I have to dig deep."

Even during the most challenging miles, O’Neil finds comfort in knowing her family will be waiting for her near the finish.

“In those moments, I know exactly where my family is going to be. I do," she said. "That motivated me to keep going and pushing through.”

O’Neil emphasizes the importance of having a support system when taking on a challenge as demanding as a marathon.

“Yes, we can do hard things. But, I think having people tell us that as well is very important,” she said.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the five-borough course — before that, the marathon was run entirely in Central Park — and while each borough is important, nearly half the race takes place right here in Brooklyn, between Bay Ridge and Greenpoint.

Whether you’re planning to join the crowds cheering the runners on or aiming to avoid the race altogether, here’s everything you need to know about who’s running, which roads will be closed, and where to watch. 

Brooklynites to watch

While there are hundreds of Brooklynites taking part in Sunday’s race, there are a few to watch out for. 

Two locals are part of New York Road Runners’ Team Inspire, a group of 26 participants with particularly moving stories. 

Giovanni Kyle Sabio was born in the Philippines and grew up unhoused. He moved to New York City five years ago, and found a sense of home and peace here in Brooklyn. Sabio now lives in Bushwick, and said running has given him confidence, comfort and a community he loves. 

Carroll Gardens mom Sherie Buell is running her first marathon along with two friends — Sheena Lawrick and Laura Lang — in support of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where their children were successfully treated for a rare pediatric eye cancer. 

Meanwhile, Crown Heights resident Miraj Mehta, is running his 26.2 miles with Team Citizens to support local nonprofit Beginning with Children. 

Two local celebs will take part, too. Brooklyn lawyer-turned-”Survivor” winner Kyle Fraser is running to raise money for the Chelsea Piers Foundation; “Summer House” star Carl Radke, who also runs Soft Bar in Greenpoint, is racing in support of Release Recovery.

The best places to spectate

About 11 miles of the marathon route are in Brooklyn, so there’s plenty of space to spectate without going too far from home. Here are some of the best viewing spots and a few watch parties along the route! Signs and cowbells are encouraged, but be sure to stay behind caution tape and barricades to leave the course open and safe for marathoners. 

Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge, Miles 2-4: There are no spectators on Staten Island or along the Verrazzano, so this is the earliest you can see the runners as they begin their 26.2 mile journeys! Catch the R train and get off anywhere between Bay Ridge Avenue and 95th Street and it’s a short walk to 4th Avenue. 

Just note that there are three routes runners might take, and they diverge slightly in the early miles of the race. If you’re looking for a special someone, be sure you know what color group they’re in — pink, blue or orange — or watch closer to Mile 4, near the Bay Ridge Avenue stop, where the routes come together again. 

Irish Haven in Bay Ridge: Irish Haven and Sole Cafe NYC are hosting a joint marathon watch party in front of Irish Haven at 5721 4th Ave., just past 57th Street. The celebration starts at 8 a.m. and will include coffee, snacks and live music. 

Fourth Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, Mile 8: This is one of the most popular cheer spots in Brooklyn, and a great spot to catch a glimpse of a loved one if they’re running! Take the B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, or 5 train to Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and brace yourself for a big crowd. Runners will come up 4th Avenue and curve onto Flabush Avenue briefly before heading right on Lafayette Avenue. 

Downtown Brooklyn Partnership Cheer Zone: Join the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership at The Plaza at 300 Ashland Place to cheer with coffee, music and cowbells from 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. 

NYRR Member Cheer Zone: New York Road Runners are inviting NYRR members, family, friends and supporters to join their cheer zone at 30 Lafayette Ave. RSVP on Eventbrite to join the group and enjoy signs, snacks and exclusive promotional items. This zone is for hard core supporters, and is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. to support all 60,000 runners! 

Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Miles 10-13: Catch the runners before they hit the Pulaski Bridge and the halfway point of the race! Portions of this stretch can be a little quiet, and it’s easily accessible by the G or L train. 

Only NY Watch Party: Join beloved local clothing brand OnlyNY for a marathon celebration at their 76 Nassau Ave. shop. The store sits right next to the marathon route, and the event will include sign-making, a live DJ, and free water and bananas. 

Sprint & Sip Cheer Zone: Run club Sprint & Sip’s cheer zone is great for runners and spectators alike. Join in at the corner of Kent Avenue and McGuinness Boulevard, right around Mile 13, for a high-energy celebration with a DJ, pickle shots for runners, and on-course photography. When the runners have passed through, the celebration will move to Threes Brewing in Greenpoint, where marathoners can show their medals for free beers. 

Marathon road closures, pedestrian crossings, and transit impacts

A number of local streets will be closed for portions of the day, and some bus routes will be impacted, too. 

This year, there are two designated pedestrian crossing zones if your path is interrupted by the route, one at Lafayette Avenue and Fulton Street; another at Bedford Avenue and Broadway. Before you get on the bus, check your route on the MTA website, as some routes are skipping stops or taking a detour.

Transportation Alternatives alleged in an Oct. 29 news release that the city Department of Transportation (DOT) could have prevented the Wednesday crash by opting to install pedestrian-protective enhancements to the Bath Beach intersection of Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue as part of its current redesign of the two roads.

The group highlighted that between 2020 and 2024 the intersection was the second most dangerous on Bay Parkway, which DOT has identified as a "Priority Corridor" under its Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries. The DOT recorded 41 injuries at the crossing during that time.

“We know that the streets and intersections with the most extensive crash histories are our most dangerous, and the history of Cropsey Avenue and Bay Parkway is a mile-long," said Ben Furnas, Transportation Alternatives' executive director.

"Our street redesigns should be driven by crash data, but on Bay Parkway, we redesigned a street and left one of its most dangerous intersections unsafe," he added. "Now, a New Yorker has lost their life. This tragedy was predictable, preventable, and we owe it to every New Yorker to make sure that it never happens again.”

Transportation Alternatives spokesperson Michelle Deme said the group concluded DOT was not adding safety features to the intersection because it did not indicate that it would in its initial plan for the project released in 2024. The redesign, construction of which began earlier this month, will add pedestrian safety elements such as median islands, painted median extension, and painted curb extensions to both roads.

DOT pushes back on safe street advocates' criticism

DOT spokesperson Vincent Barone, however, disputed the group's assertion, noting that the agency is in fact adding a painted curb extension to the intersection's northeast corner. The feature is designed to shorten the distances pedestrians have to cross, while also slowing vehicle speeds.

Barone added that offset and curbside bus lanes that are being installed along both Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue as part of the redesign will make each road safer for pedestrians and cyclists as well.

“This was an awful tragedy—no loss of life on our streets is acceptable, and our thoughts are with Siobhan’s family and loved ones," Barone said in a statement. "NYC DOT’s redesign of Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue will help both make buses faster and more reliable while also enhancing safety along the corridors, including at this intersection, to help protect all New Yorkers.” 

But Deme fired back, arguing that one curb extension on the opposite side of the street from where the Lynch was killed is not enough to make the intersection as safe as it needs to be.

"While we welcome any additional safety improvements by DOT, a single painted curb extension on the opposite corner of the intersection would not have saved Siobhan Lynch’s life," Deme said in a statement. "This is one of Bay Parkway's most dangerous intersections, and it needs more than paint. We hope DOT will continue to implement more comprehensive safety improvements that protect pedestrians at this intersection and beyond."

Lynch was crossing from the southwest to southeast corner of Bay Parkway when she was struck by the garbage truck driver around 6:35 p.m. on Wednesday, according to cops. The 41-year-old male driver hit Lynch as he was making a right turn from Cropsey Avenue onto Bay Parkway.

Lynch was thrown to the pavement, where she hit her head and sustained severe trauma, the NYPD said. She was rushed to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where she was pronounced dead.

The DSNY driver remained at the scene, according to the police. No arrests were made, and the NYPD's Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad is investigating the incident.

"This is a terrible tragedy, and our thoughts are with the family of the victim," said DSNY spokesperson Vincent Gragnani, in a statement. "DSNY is assisting NYPD with their ongoing investigation."

Police said the grim discovery took place at about 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 30 at the corner of East 93rd Street and Avenue L in Canarsie.

Officers from the 69th Precinct rushed to the scene after receiving a 911 call about a person in need of assistance. When they arrived, they located the body of an unidentified man, apparently wrapped in a trash bag and discarded near a pile of trash outside a long-vacant former movie theater.

Responding EMS units confirmed the man's death and took the body to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

The terrible find shocked area residents.

"I am shocked to see such a heavy police presence," said one resident, Beth Fitzgerald. "This is normally a really quiet area." 

“This comes as a shock to me; may the person rest in peace," added Roger Davenport. "Stuff like this very rarely ever happens here.”

Detectives from Patrol Borough Brooklyn South have taken the lead on the investigation, sealing off the nearby area while establishing a crime scene. So far, no arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information about the incident can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

More than 700 of the Empire Bins will appear in Brooklyn Community District 2 in the coming months, including in Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Vinegar Hill, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. 

The bins, designed to deter rats and keep trash and stink contained, are required for all residential buildings with 30 or more units; they’ll also be installed at buildings with between ten and 30 units that opted in to the program. 

Mamdani, who has pledged to containerize all trash across the city by 2031, said the bins will be “nothing short of transformative.”

“They will reduce the number of pests by making it more difficult for rats and roaches to find their next meal,” he said. “They will improve sidewalk access by clearing the way for pedestrians, parents with strollers, and wheelchair users. And they will end the eyesore that is mountains of black bags on every block and every street corner.”

The city’s “trash revolution” started in 2024, when then-Mayor Eric Adams rolled out mandatory city-issued “wheelie bins” for smaller residential buildings across the summer. On-street Empire Bins made their debut in a pilot program in Manhattan in 2023, and West Harlem became the city’s first nabe with 100% trash containerization last year.

Rat sightings in West Harlem have decreased since the bins were installed, per DSNY, and rat reports across the city have been declining since the wheelie bins were introduced. 

Brooklyn CD2 became the second district in the city to receive the bins thanks in part to Council Member Crystal Hudson, who introduced a bill codifying the containerization program last year.

“For generations, New Yorkers have had to contend with heaps of trash on their sidewalks and rats running amok,” Hudson said. “Starting today, those piles of trash will soon be a distant memory.”

The bins will replace about 768 parking spots in the district, Gothamist reported. 

Council Member Lincoln Restler acknowledged the “modest” loss of parking, but noted that the spaces will be exchanged for “the cleaner and healthier streets that we deserve.”

They will only be accessible to building managers and staff, said DSNY commissioner Gregory Anderson, who will unlock them using key cards or a new smartphone app. Building staff will be responsible for hauling trash from a building’s designated collection area to the bins ahead of trash day. 

DSNY partner Contenur, a Spanish urban waste management company who are also manufacturing the Empire Bins, “will keep them looking great year-round with constant maintenance and quarterly cleaning,” Anderson added.

Trash collection will change with the introduction of Empire Bins, too. The receptacles are serviced by brand-new side-loading trucks that lift and dump the bins automatically.

So far, the new bins and trucks have been welcomed by DSNY workers, said Dennis Schock, president of Teamsters Local 831. Since they operate the trucks from the side, not the back, they don’t have to worry about getting hit by cars driving up and down the street; and the mechanical arms make the job much easier on their backs and shoulders.

“This is something that should be done and should happen all over the city,” Schock said. 

Six more districts are set to receive Empire Bins next year, according to City Hall, including Brooklyn Community District 8. That expansion is expected to bring more than 6,500 bins to approximately 3,500 across the five boroughs. 

“Since the day we began our campaign for mayor, we have been guided by a core conviction that every New Yorker deserves to live a decent, dignified life, and that every New Yorker deserves a decent and dignified home,” Mamdani said. “When I say every New Yorker, I mean every New Yorker … I'm talking about beloved residents as well, like Oscar the Grouch, who once said, ‘Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things. It's called a garbage can, not a garbage cannot.’”

Visitation Academy & Monastery Landmark Initiative, a group founded by Cardillo, submitted a Request for Evaluation to the Landmarks Preservation Commission earlier this month for the entire 7.5-acre site at 8902 Ridge Boulevard, and the group is holding a November 14 rally in support of the effort.

Since forming earlier this month, the group has gathered more than 120 neighbors, alumni, parents, and supporters as volunteers, and flyers have been translated into Arabic, Spanish, and Chinese, Cardillo said.

The goal isn’t to stop the New York Attorney General-approved $42.25 million pending sale of the site bordered by 89th and 91st streets, Ridge Boulevard, and Colonial Road, but to protect what Cardillo said is an important part of the area’s identity and the site’s historic buildings, which date back to the mid 19th century.

Before the Sisters of the Visitation moved to the site in 1903 and opened the women-led academy, it housed the Kings County Inebriates Home. The substance abuse treatment center, which treated both men and women, was formed in 1867 and had two buildings on the site. The first, designed by Ebenezer L. Roberts, was constructed in the late 1860s and the second was built in 1888. The earlier building became the monastery when the Sisters took over the site, and the second became the academy.

The Visitation Alumnae Association, formed in 1904, took on fundraising for a new chapel at the site, and in 1911 the cornerstone was laid for the Sacred Heart Chapel, designed by Brooklyn architect Franz J. Berlenbach Jr. and built by Herman Veit. The chapel was dedicated in 1913.

A 2014 report prepared for Historic Districts Council calls the complex “an elegant composition of Renaissance Revival style buildings” and says the centerpiece is the classically ornamented Italian Renaissance church, which it suggests could be eligible for landmarking. “It is cream colored brick with limestone details, including the cornices, pilaster capitals, and window surrounds,” the report reads.

According to the landmarking initiative, the church interior has Carrara marble, religious artwork, historic lighting, a vaulted ceiling, and Reuben Midmer & Sons organ. The Sisters brought the stained-glass windows from their previous Clinton Avenue church sanctuary and installed them in the new chapel.

The alumni also helped finance the enclosure wall, constructed in 1922 by J. Carlin. In 1923, the Stations of the Cross were installed on the interior side of the wall.

“These are historic buildings that hold a history, the history of Brooklyn, the educational history, the social history, the architectural history, and once that is gone, it cannot be replaced. It cannot be rebuilt…pictures, plaques, and statues are not enough,” Cardillo said.

“This is a history that belongs to all of New York City, all people of faith, all women. And we want to make sure that the Landmarks Preservation Commission hears us.”

The group’s roughly 430-page request for evaluation also includes an emergency burial ground notice to LPC’s Archaeology Department. According to the group, oral histories say there is a historic monastery burial ground on site, and an area where access had long been restricted supports that.

As well as the physical site, the history of the Sisters in Bay Ridge includes welcoming generations of Brooklyn families and worshippers, Visitation alumni, martyred Maryknoll missionary Sister Ita Ford, and Saint Teresa of Calcutta in 1986, the group says.

It’s not the first time the site has been put forward for landmarking. In 2024, when the academy closed, nonprofit Historic Districts Council submitted a request for evaluation and gathered more than 2,000 signatures supporting designation on a petition.

“HDC strongly supports the Bay Ridge neighborhood in their efforts to preserve Visitation Academy for the future and make sure that it remains a vital community asset as it has been since 1903,” Historic Districts Council Executive Director Frampton Tolbert told Brownstoner. “The site could be a win-win with landmark designation of significant buildings on the property while sensitively adapting the larger campus for much-needed housing or educational uses.”

The purpose of the rally, which will take place at Monastery Square at 8902 Ridge Boulevard at 11 a.m. Saturday November 14, is to draw LPC’s attention to the level of support for landmarking the historic site.

Local Council Member Kayla Santosuosso also supports the landmarking push, and said she has been advocating to LPC for the site to be calendared.

“I think the rally is a demonstration of how much this community cares about the property, and I think it’s also a demonstration of frustration at feeling left out of a process, because so much of this happened behind closed doors,” she said. “I think the community and the public are looking for their voices to be heard about this extremely consequential property in our neighborhood.”

Santosuosso said she has had no update on the status of the sale and is yet to hear from the buyers at all. “I would love an open channel of communication. It is customary for there to be an open channel of communication, particularly with a plot of land this large, it is incredibly uncommon and concerning that there isn’t an open channel of communication.”

A rep for LPC told Brownstoner the agency had received multiple requests for evaluation for Visitation Academy, including several in the past few months, and is continuing to study the site. Staff has determined the main chapel could merit individual landmark status, but further investigation is needed into the site as a whole. The rep added a request for evaluation does not automatically lead to a designation process, which is controlled by LPC and its priorities and policies.

The gunfire erupted at the corner of East 92nd Street and Farragut Road in Canarsie at about 3 p.m. on Oct. 29, law enforcement sources reported.

Officers from the 69th Precinct responded after receiving a call about shots fired at the location. When they arrived, they found the victim, a 40-year-old man, suffering from a gunshot wound to the right leg.

EMS rushed the victim to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition.

The motive for the shooting remains under investigation, police reported on Friday; sources familiar with the case initially indicated that road rage may have been a factor. 

Members of the Emergency Services Unit recovered three shell casings at the scene. Sources close to the investigation said three suspects fled after the shooting inside a silver sedan last spotted heading along East 91st Street.

As of Friday morning, no arrests had been made in the ongoing investigation, police reported.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.

Through Oct. 25, the 69th Precinct had reported eight shooting incidents year-to-date, down from 11 at the same point last year.
