The one Bronx bathroom at Joyce Kilmer Park has opened to mixed reviews—especially after residents learned of the $1 million price tag and patrons could be observed by sickos from outside the bathroom. On July 1, Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa announced the installation of five new “Portland Loos” at a cost of $6 million as part of the “ We Outside Summer ” pilot program.

BRONX - A driver involved in a fender bender is lucky to be alive after being repeatedly stabbed by the man who struck his car, cops said. The driver of the other car repeatedly stabbed the victim outside a Bronx church. 



At around 1:45 am on June 17, two cars were involved in a collision in front of the Nazareth Pentecostal Church on Plimpton Avenue in Highbridge, cops said. When the cars collided, the driver of a white Chevy Malibu exited his car and walked over to the 38-year-old driver. 


The Malibu driver then began repeatedly stabbing the victim in the neck. As the driver lay in the car bleeding, the attacker reached in and ripped the dashboard camera out of the vehicle. He then drove away in the Malibu. 



EMS rushed the victim to Lincoln Hospital where he was treated and listed in stable condition. 


If the near fatal attack and removing the dashboard camera was attempt to cover up the driver’s identity in the accident he failed miserably. The attacker’s Malibu was parked directly in the field of vision for a street camera that recorded the suspect’s face. 



Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
