Heads up, drivers! If You’re Angered by Red Light Cameras Wait Till New York City Buses Start Turning on Their Cameras and Fining You  Bronx Voice  November 10, 2025 NEW YORK LOCAL NEWS  - Starting Thursday, November 13, the MTA will begin issuing automated fines on four more bus routes — the Q6, Bx20, Bx3, and Bx7.

Hunt for Throggs Neck Houses Rapist

BRONX - Police are looking for an individual wanted in connection with an armed robbery and sexual assault of a young woman inside the Throggs Neck Houses.



According to police, officers from the 45th Precinct and Public Service Area 8, were called to 2751 Sampson Avenue at 11:58 p.m. on May 8.


One official told the Bronx Voice. “Upon arrival, it was reported to officers that an unidentified individual approached a 23-year-old female and displayed a knife. The individual then sexually assaulted the victim and removed her purse, cellphone and approximately $120.”



The police official added that the young woman was transported to Jacobi Hospital in “stable condition.” The official was unable to provide a description of the suspect. Unconfirmed sources have stated that the suspect was described as a Black male in his 30’s.



One former female resident of the Throgs Neck Houses said of the area, “I mean it was pretty quiet, but yeah at night it could be a little tricky.” She added, “But I didn’t have any complaints.”


Asked if police patrolled the area, the former resident said, “I mean the police precinct is right across the street,” as she referred to the NYPD’s Public Service Area 8, a localized police precinct that covers public housing located on Randall Avenue.



According to a social media post, Councilmember Kristy Marmorato (D-13) attended a tenant association meeting at the complex the day before the attack.


On May 12, a call for comment to the New York City Housing Authority’s ‘Throgs Neck Addition’ prompted a vow of a return call by a NYCHA official. That call was not returned before the publication of this article.
