Shocking photos show 'emotionally disturbed' man roaming Bronx with gun hours after NYC shooting
Armed man arrested
According to the New York Post, the 42-year-old suspect, known to police as an emotionally disturbed individual, was arrested around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday near 1402 Nelson Ave. in the Highbridge neighborhood. Authorities say the man has over 70 prior arrests, including six involving firearms.
A photo published by the Post shows the man wearing a black T-shirt, black shorts, white sneakers, and a black backpack, holding the weapon in his left hand.
NYC shooting
The disturbing scene unfolded less than 24 hours after a gunman, identified as Shane Tamura, stormed a Park Avenue office tower and opened fire with a rifle, killing four people. The shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m. Monday inside a building that houses the headquarters of Blackstone and the NFL.
Tamura, a former football player, died by suicide after the rampage. He was found on the 33rd floor of the skyscraper with a rifle nearby. Authorities later discovered a three-page note in which Tamura blamed the NFL and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) for his mental deterioration.
'Please study brain for CTE,' he wrote in the letter. "I'm sorry. The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us.'
Another note, found in his Las Vegas apartment on Tuesday, appeared to address his parents. According to New York Post, it read: "When I look into you and dad's eyes, I see complete disappointment."
Mayor Eric Adams addressed the letters, saying, "We're still going through the suicide note to zero in on the exact reason. But at this time, it appears to be tied to his belief that he experienced CTE from playing in the NFL."
Victims
The four victims of the Manhattan office shooting have been identified as:
Didarul Islam, NYPD officer
Wesley LePatner, Blackstone executive
Aland Etienna, building security guard
Julia Hyman, management associate at Rudin Management, which owns the building

Pakistani man jailed in UK for threatening to gang-rape Air Hostess mid-flight
A Pakistani businessman based in London has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for hurling rape and death threats at cabin crew during a flight from the UK to Pakistan. The shocking incident took place aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight from London's Heathrow to Lahore in February 2023. According to the New York Post, 37-year-old Salman Iftikhar was travelling in first class when his drunken outburst began mid-air. What started as a confrontation over in-flight service quickly escalated into racist abuse and threats of sexual violence aimed at flight attendants, leaving one crew member traumatised for over a year. Iftikhar reportedly began drinking champagne at the aircraft's bar and was asked to return to his seat after scooping ice with his bare hands. Flight attendants noted his growing aggression and slurred speech. Soon after, he accused one of the crew members, Angie Walsh, of racism, yelling, 'You called me a p–ki in front of everybody.' A fellow passenger captured parts of the disturbing tirade on video. The situation turned even more disturbing when Iftikhar began making violent threats. 'Don't tell me what to do, you racist f–king bitch. I know where you are from in Cardiff,' he shouted. Despite the cabin crew's efforts to calm him down, Iftikhar's behaviour escalated. He manhandled male flight attendant Tommy Merchant, shoved his own wife who tried to intervene, and made a string of horrifying threats referencing the hotel in Lahore where the crew was scheduled to stay. According to The New York Post, Iftikhar screamed at one flight attendant: 'The white sheep s–ting bitch will be dead. The floor of your hotel will be blown up, and it will disappear. You will be dragged by your hair from your room and gang-raped and set on fire.' Although the flight crew alerted the cockpit, Iftikhar was not detained upon arrival in Pakistan. It wasn't until March 2024—more than a year later—that he was arrested at his home in the UK, valued at $1.2 million. Iftikhar pleaded guilty to making death threats and racially aggravated harassment. However, he was cleared of charges related to physical assault and threats to kill crew member Tommy Merchant. His legal team claimed his actions were a result of a medical condition involving 'amnesia, blood loss.' The emotional and psychological toll of the incident on flight attendant Angie Walsh was immense. In her victim impact statement, she said: 'I am a strong, brave, happy stewardess, and I loved my job. I am well known within the company. I have been flying with Virgin Atlantic for 37 years… But this incident has broken me… He has taken that away from me.' Ms Walsh had to take 14 months off from work to recover. According to his LinkedIn, Iftikhar is the director and founder of a recruitment firm named Staffing Match.
