E-bike rider slams into 3-year-old girl in NYC, knocking her off her feet in caught-on-camera incident
Frightening video that has surfaced shows the moment an e-bike rider slammed into a three-year-old girl while she ran toward a Brooklyn bike lane. The incident took place over the weekend, the New York Post reported.
The video, shared on X by Williamsburg 365 News, shows the unaware child scurrying into the lane at Bedford and Park avenues around 7:40 pm. She appeared to have stepped out of a double-parked car with a man before walking into the lane when she was struck by the cyclist.
According to police, the skirt-and-sweater-wearing girl was just miraculously sideswiped while the biker headed south on Bedford Avenue. The toddler, however, was knocked off her feet.
The man who was accompanying the tot was just steps behind her when she was hit. After the accident, the man quickly swooped her into his arms. A woman was seen getting out of the double-parked car.
The incident left the girl with minor injuries to her lower stomach. She was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, according to police.
The cyclist was a 22-year-old man, and was seen with a bag hanging on the back of his ride. He may have been a delivery driver. He stayed at the scene, and was not arrested.
Many commented on Williamsburg 365 News' video on X, with one user writing, 'People gotta look after their kids at all times, these bikers are reckless, stop playing with words to score political points Lincoln you.... Hobbit!' 'obviously the parent is at fault here,' one user wrote, while another said, 'Once again, the parking remains the problem, not the bike lane'.
'Arrest the parents,' one user wrote, while another said, 'Kid ran right into the bike. Why isn't the Frummie Daddy being admonished?' 'So terrible! Any chance you know the exact location and time that this happened?' one user asked.

Sean Diddy Combs' ex testifies she 'felt obligated' to have sex with male escorts, reveals shocking 'freak-off' details
A former girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs testified at his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Thursday. The woman, using the pseudonym 'Jane,' said she felt a "feeling of obligation" to have sex with escorts while the mogul watched because he was paying the $10,000/month rent on her home, reports New York Post. The woman told the court he brutally beat her and forced her to have unprotected sex with strangers. She told the jury Thursday that 90% of their three-year relationship was spent in the drugged-up 'freak-offs' Diddy orchestrated, filmed and pleasured himself to, which are at the center of this case. The testimony comes as prosecutors are accusing Combs of using his business empire to lure women into his orbit with promises of romantic relationships or financial support, before physically abusing them or coercing them into sex.

Live Events The rapper has pleaded not guilty to RICO charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted. Jane testified that she would take Xanax to help her sleep after using ecstasy and other substances during intense "hotel nights"—also referred to as " freak-offs "—with Sean "Diddy" Combs. Her remarks about drug use surfaced when she was questioned about the various security personnel and assistants involved in obtaining drugs for Combs during their relationship. She mentioned that one individual, named Guido, regularly supplied drugs to him.

"I just wanted to fall asleep, and it's really hard to fall asleep after you've been taking so many drugs," Jane explained about taking Xanax. She testified that she would take drugs to help her power through the "hotel nights" that could last up to three days. Jane said she would take Xanax after she "put Sean [Combs] asleep." Jane, a single mother, said she met Sean "Diddy" Combs during a 2020 girls' trip to Miami, accompanying a friend who was dating him. What began as a romantic relationship in 2021 eventually turned serious, lasting until 2024. She said they affectionately referred to each other as 'Bert' and 'Ernie.' ALSO READ: Amid Trump-Musk spat, Tesla CEO's immigration status under scanner. Can President deport him? But the tone of the relationship shifted dramatically in May 2021, Jane testified, growing emotional as she recalled the change. Combs began discussing sexual fantasies involving other men and role-playing, which she initially agreed to, assuming it was a distant and isolated request. Instead, she said, she found herself hours later in a Miami hotel room as Combs' staff prepared for a group sex encounter. 'That night opened a Pandora's box,' she said. 'It set the tone for everything that followed… a door I couldn't close.' Though she initially felt a rush afterward, Jane said she later regretted the experience. From then on, she claimed, the majority of their sexual encounters involved other men, with Combs watching. Asked whether she wanted to be with those other men, she quietly replied, 'No… just Sean.' Her account of these 'hotel nights' echoed previous testimony from Cassie, another woman linked to Combs. Both described enduring long encounters — sometimes stretching over 24 hours — and trying to get through them as quickly as possible. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

US Jiu-Jitsu Student Awarded Rs 466 Crore After Instructor's Move Leaves Him Paralysed
In a landmark case, 30-year-old Jack Greener was awarded over $56 million (Rs 466 crore) after a 2018 jiu-jitsu sparring session left him paralyzed, according to New York Post. As a beginner white belt at Del Mar Jiu-Jitsu Club in San Diego, Greener was paired with instructor Francisco "Sinistro" Iturralde. During the session, Iturralde executed a manoeuvre that placed his full body weight on Greener's neck, crushing his cervical vertebrae and rendering him quadriplegic. The incident occurred just weeks before Greener's college graduation. He underwent multiple surgeries and suffered strokes during his hospitalisation. Initially awarded 46 million in 2023, the total compensation rose with post-judgement interest. The California Supreme Court upheld the verdict, emphasizing that instructors can be held liable when they increase risks beyond those inherent in the sport. Greener has since become a motivational speaker and mountain climber, advocating for athlete safety and accountability in sports training. "The black belt instructor did a technique that placed his entire body weight on Greener's neck, causing him to instantly fall limp and lose all function of his limbs," BJJ legend Rener Gracie, who was called as an expert witness in the case, told The NY Post. Greener was hospitalized for several months, suffering multiple strokes as a result of his injuries - which came just weeks before he was due to graduate from college, his attorneys said. He sued the Del Mar Jiu Jitsu club in San Diego for the injuries he blamed on Iturralde, who earned the nickname "Sinistro", or "Sinister", for his "dynamic, aggressive grappling style", according to his bio on a site selling online instructionals.

Russell Simmons files $20m defamation lawsuit against HBO over sexual misconduct docu: Here's a look at his net worth
Russell Simmons has sued HBO for a whopping $20 million. He filed the defamation lawsuit after accusing filmmakers of a documentary detailing sexual misconduct allegations against him of 'suppressing evidence' that refuted the accusers' claims, the New York Post reported. Simmons has accused the creators of the 2020 film 'On the Record,' a documentary about women accusing the hip hop mogul of sexual misconduct, 'willfully' ignoring evidence 'including interviews, and over 20 witnesses' that were favorable to Simmons. The evidence would have reportedly 'refuted and rebutted the accusations falsely made against Plaintiff in the film' and was presented to the filmmakers, and top HBO and parent company Warner Bros. executives. However, according to the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, June 4, the materials were ignored. The lawsuit added that the evidence includes 'nine consecutive credible and favorable CIA-grade polygraph results' that HBO 'disregarded.' The lawsuit also noted that the film's backers were 'requested' to review the evidence by unnamed 'luminaries in media and politics, including but not limited to, civil rights leaders and members of Congress, and other high-profile black leaders.' Simmons alleged that Oprah Winfrey, former executive producer of the film, left the project 'after publicly noting inconsistencies in the accusations.' He also alleged that several news outlets 'declined to publish defamatory content.' Winfrey, however, previously said that it was Simmons who pressured her to quit the project. She added that she still believed Drew Dixon, the woman at the center of the film. Simmons has a net worth of $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He is best known for co-founding Def Jam Recordings with Rick Rubin in 1984. Simmons later went on to sell his portion of Def Jam Recordings to Universal Music Group for $120 million. Simmons' successful career was marred by allegations of sexual assault, which surfaced in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Several women accused him of misconduct spanning over three decades.
