A man was shot by police late Thursday night in the Bronx after the NYPD says he threatened his mother with a knife. Police said a security guard called 911 after hearing screams from the family's apartment in on Mulford Avenue in Pelham Bay. Officers arrived around 11:20 p.m. and found the 34-year-old man with his left arm around his 61-year-old mother's neck and a large kitchen knife in his right hand, police said. "Our officers engaged the male in dialog and attempted to de-escalate the situation. For over two and a half minutes, our officers attempted to get the male to put the knife down and free his mother," NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said on the scene. A man was shot by police late Thursday night in the Bronx after the NYPD says he threatened his mother with this knife. NYPD Police said the man threatened his mother while moving the knife toward her neck. "As our officers were attempting this, the male made numerous threats to kill his mother, all while he was still holding her with his arm around her neck and holding the knife," said Rivera. "Numerous times during this interaction, the male moved the knife towards his mother's neck." Police said their attempts to get him to drop the knife were unsuccessful, and an officer ended up firing one round, striking the man and freeing his mother. The suspect was rushed to Jacobi Hospital where he remains in critical condition. His mother was not injured. Police said the entire incident was captured on body-worn cameras and will be handled by the Force Investigation Division. They also released a photo of the knife recovered from the scene.

Bronx car owner dragged in street during carjacking caught on camera
A surveillance video in the Bronx shows a person being dragged and injured after they attempted to stop a carjacker from stealing their car, according to police. In the video from April 24, the man can be seen being dragged by the car as he is hanging from the side of the window as it speeds away. The owner allegedly left the car double-parked and running as he went inside a Chinese restaurant for takeout. In the video, the thief can be seen getting out of the back of an SUV and jumping into the car. The victim can be seen running into the frame to attempt to save his car. The dragged victim eventually fell into the street as the carjacker sped away. Police found him badly injured with trauma to his leg and head approximately a block away from the scene of the carjacking. He was rushed to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition. The stolen car was recovered after being found abandoned on the northbound Hutchinson River Parkway, according to police. This incident comes after Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch announced on April 3 that New York City saw historic reductions in overall crime through the first quarter of 2025. "The women and men of the NYPD are driving record-breaking reductions in crime and violence," Tisch said. "In the first quarter of this year, we've cut shooting incidents down to the lowest number in history and made our subways safer than they've been in nearly a decade. Our precision policing strategies aren't just working — they're delivering historic results and making New York City the safest big city in the nation." "These historic declines in violence were accompanied by major crime reductions in every patrol borough with index crime down 10.9%," the statement read. "In this quarter, robbery dropped 22.8% (3,074 vs. 3,981), grand larceny declined 13.7% (10,226 vs. 11,855), auto theft was down 11.9% (2,773 vs. 3,148), burglary was down 4.4% (3,043 vs. 3,184), and felony assault fell 2.7% (6,361 vs. 6,535)." New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement released about the decline that this was always his plan. "Public safety is the prerequisite to prosperity, and that's why, since my first day in office, our administration has been dedicated to making sure New Yorkers are safer and feel safer," said Adams. "While today's numbers show crime continues to plummet across the five boroughs, today's drop is nothing new — we have seen five straight quarters of declining crime, including the past six months. Thanks to the tens of thousands of brave men and women of the NYPD, New York City remains the safest big city in America, and we are only getting safer," he said.

Bronx man, 49, fatally shot during clash over parking spot outside home
A 49-year-old man was fatally shot during a violent, early-morning clash over a parking spot outside his Bronx home Saturday, police said. Trevor Hughes was standing outside his small apartment building on Fowler Ave. near Morris Park Ave. in Morris Park just before 2 a.m. when he got into an argument with two men. The three were arguing over a parking spot, when one of the men pulled a gun and opened fire, striking Hughes in the stomach, according to ABC Eyewitness News. Hughes ran inside his home and called 911. EMS found him inside his apartment and rushed him to Jacobi Hospital, where he died soon after. The two suspects fled the scene in a grey Jeep Cherokee. Hours later, Hughes' building on Fowler Ave. remained cordoned off with police tape. Evidence markers were placed on the sidewalk next to a glove, a shell casing and other pieces of evidence. No arrests have been made. An NYPD spokesman could not immediately confirm that Hughes was in a dispute over parking when he was shot.
