Volunteer bit on hand at Rep. Mamdani event: NYPD
MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — A man is accused of biting a volunteer on the hand at Rep. Zohran Mamdani's press conference in Manhattan Friday, police said. The 29-year-old woman was attacked at the event across the street from 123 William St. in Lower Manhattan at around 11:15 a.m., police said. The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment. Raul Rivera, 55, of the Bronx, was arrested and charged with assault, according to the NYPD. The New York City mayoral candidate was holding a press event slamming former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's $2.5 million donation from a landlord lobby, according to Mamdani's campaign. Mamdani said the cost to rent an apartment grew by 52% under Cuomo, and he promises to freeze the rent for New Yorkers who live in rent-stabilized apartments if he is elected mayor. Exclusive polling from PIX11, Emerson College, and The Hill showed the Queens Assemblyman is tightening the race for mayor, but still a bit behind Cuomo. This is a developing story.

Vancouver man arrested after driving into Pacific Coliseum entrance during Cirque du Soleil show, police say
A 30-year-old man has been arrested after driving a vehicle into the Pacific Coliseum on Thursday night, say Vancouver police. The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) said on X, formerly Twitter, that the suspect drove a vehicle into the front entrance of the arena, located at East Vancouver's Hastings Park, during a Cirque du Soleil performance. Arena security detained the man and police officers took him into custody. Police said that while it is still early in the investigation, the incident "does not appear to be an act of terrorism." The suspect, a Vancouver resident, was apprehended under the Mental Health Act, police said. At a Thursday night press conference outside the arena, VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said police believe the driver was "experiencing some sort of mental health psychosis." Police said there are no reported injuries. B.C. Emergency Health Services said it received a call at 8:02 p.m. regarding a single-vehicle collision at Pacific Coliseum. Three units responded to the scene and paramedics transported one patient. "There were lots of people here, thousands of people inside and outside of the venue," Addison said Thursday night. "We're relieved. It's a miracle that nobody was killed."
