New York man charged with animal cruelty after 48 dogs found in cramped apartment
In a deeply disturbing case of alleged animal hoarding, a man in Queens, New York City, has been charged with nearly 100 counts of animal cruelty after 48 Belgian Malinois dogs were found living in harrowing conditions inside a one-bedroom apartment, according to a report by People. (Also read: Indian-origin girl's Maggi noodles lunch in NYC school video wins hearts online: 'Just adorable') According to officials, the flat in Forest Hills resembled a nightmarish scene, with the floor slick with faeces and the air so saturated with ammonia that rescuers struggled to breathe. The malnourished dogs were reportedly crammed into closets, cabinets, cages, and even kitchen drawers—barely surviving in the squalor. Authorities say the discovery was made on 8 May when members of the NYPD, ASPCA, and the city's Animal Care Centers responded to a seventh-floor apartment following the eviction of the tenant, identified as 37-year-old Isaac Yadgarov. "The defendant is accused of keeping dozens of dogs in unsanitary and deplorable conditions, unable to move freely and surrounded by filth," said Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz in a statement. "Animals are voiceless and vulnerable and deserve to be treated with basic care and decency." The scene inside the apartment was described as a case of hoarding "beyond comprehension." Tragically, three of the dogs were found to be in such poor health that they had to be euthanised. The remaining dogs are now in the custody of local animal shelters, receiving medical care and proper nutrition. Yadgarov turned himself in on 13 May and has since been arraigned on 96 misdemeanour charges, including animal neglect and failure to provide proper sustenance. The People report states that he had allegedly told authorities he intended to surrender the dogs voluntarily but vanished after his eviction.

Rescuers say that while the dogs' physical and emotional recovery will take time, they are now safe. 'They've suffered so much,' said one official in an ASPCA statement. 'But at least they're safe now.'

48 Dogs Found Cramped In One-Bedroom New York Apartment, Owner Arrested
A man in the US has been charged with keeping 48 Belgian Malinois dogs in a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Queens, New York City. The canines were rescued from the flat where they had been living in squalid, inhumane conditions without access to sunlight or outdoor space, reported People. Isaak Yadgarov, 37, has been taken into custody by NYPD Animal Cruelty Squad detectives and charged with 96 misdemeanour charges for animal neglect and failure to provide proper sustenance, according to a statement from Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz. The incident came to light on May 8 when the NYPD and NYC's Animal Care Centers responded to a seventh-floor apartment after Yadgarov was evicted. Responders reportedly discovered a hoarding scenario "beyond comprehension," with dogs jammed into kitchen drawers, closets, and cages. The dogs, from puppies to mature adults, were found to be extremely frightened and undersocialised when discovered. Rescuers worked for two days to securely find, remove, and transfer the canines to care facilities, reports suggest. According to the statement, three of the dogs were so sick that they had to be put down. The others are in the care of nearby shelters where they are fed and given medical attention. "The defendant is accused of keeping dozens of dogs in unsanitary and deplorable conditions, unable to move freely and surrounded by filth. Animals are voiceless and vulnerable and deserve to be treated with basic care and decency," Ms Katz said. Yadgarov allegedly told investigators that he intended to willingly surrender the dogs, but disappeared after the eviction. If found guilty, he faces up to a year behind bars. "This rescue operation is a stark reminder of the need to address and prevent animal cruelty in New York City," said ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker. He added, "These Belgian Malinois mixes, who represent only a fraction of the animal lives saved through our partnership with the NYPD, are finally receiving the love and care they deserve. We look forward to witnessing their journey to new homes where they will be free to experience life as a beloved pet, likely for the first time."

Pipe-swinging, hot liquid and wrench: Four MTA workers attacked in separate NYC incidents
NYPD At least four MTA workers were injured in a series of recent assaults across New York City, as violent passengers lashed out using wrenches, fists, and kicks, according to police and sources. Strangely, three of them were attacked within 12 hours. It seems that there is a rage against the MIT employees or something else. The violence escalated on May 30, when shortly after midnight, a 68-year-old MTA cleaner was targeted at the Bergen Street F and G station in Boerum Hill. He saw a man swinging a pipe at intercom kiosks and attempted to intervene. The man responded by punching the cleaner in the chest after missing him with the pipe. The suspect, dressed in all black and carrying a backpack, fled the scene. Later that day, at around 5.30 PM, a 38-year-old Staten Island bus driver was assaulted in Port Richmond. A masked man threw a cup of hot liquid at the driver at Innis Street and Nicholas Avenue. The driver was hospitalized at Richmond University Medical Center and is in stable condition. The suspect, still on the run, wore a beige hoodie and a black face mask. Around 11.30 PM, a 53-year-old MTA conductor was clearing an M train at the Delancey-Essex Street station when she was kicked in the stomach by a sleeping passenger she tried to wake. The man, described as Hispanic, about 6 feet tall and in his 30s, fled the scene. He was last seen wearing a black and white hoodie. The conductor was treated for minor injuries at Bellevue Hospital. The first incident took place on May 13, when a man armed with a wrench assaulted a 71-year-old bus driver aboard a B61 bus in Red Hook. The attacker, allegedly called in by a female passenger after a dispute with the driver, struck the victim in the forehead at Lorraine and Hicks streets around 8 AM. The two suspects fled together after the assault. The suspect is described as a dark-complexioned man, around 5-foot-6 and in his early 40s, last seen wearing a black sweatshirt and tan pants. All four suspects remain at large as police continue their investigations.
