30K reward offered for details on alleged anti-Israel arsonist accused of torching 11 NYPD cars
A $30,000 reward is being offered on the whereabouts of the anti-Israel menace accused of torching nearly a dozen NYPD cars and causing $800,000 in damages in Brooklyn earlier in the month. Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, who has been arrested a number of times at protests, allegedly set fire to 11 cop cars in a Bushwick parking lot on June 12 — and has not been seen since, cops said. 3 A $30,000 reward is being offered on the whereabouts of alleged firebug Jakhi Lodgson-McCray. DCPI Numerous law enforcement agencies — NYPD Crime Stoppers, US Marshals and ATF — are offering reward money for the accused firebug's arrest and conviction, the NYPD announced Wednesday. Lodgson-McCray also allegedly destroyed a statue, leading to over $1,000 in damage during a protest at Columbia University in September, according to the NYPD. 3 Jakhi Lodgson-McCray allegedly torches nearly a dozen police vehicles. Kyle Mazza 'We believe, based on his social media, that he's very active in the protest community, involving the Free Palestine movement,' NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said after the arson incident near Patrol Borough Brooklyn North headquarters. He's believed to have acted alone during his targeted attack. 'We have him on video for about 40 minutes prior to the incident. He is by himself, and, like I said, a substantial video canvass after the fact, where we track him all the way back to Manhattan,' Kenny told reporters. 3 Suspected arsonist Jakhi Lodgson-McCray has not been seen since allegedly setting fire to 11 police vehicles. Kyle Mazza 'Several times during his escape, he changes his clothing.' 'He's wearing a hoodie cinched up so you can't see his face, and wearing a mask,' he added. 'But we do believe that he acted alone, and obviously he targeted this location because it is a police facility.' Logson-McCray was previously arrested for resisting arrest at an anti-ICE protest last month. He's also been cuffed at several anti-Israel demonstrations, according to records. Police are asking anyone with information to contact @NYPDTips or call 1-800-577-TIPS.

Man charged in beating of NYPD officer in the Bronx
Editor's note: The above video aired on May 25, 2025. THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — One of the men accused of beating and robbing an NYPD officer is facing attempted murder charges, police said. Wayne Lucas, 23, was charged Thursday with attempted murder of a police officer, attempted robbery, attempted aggravated assault of a police officer, and attempted criminal possession of a weapon, according to the NYPD. Lucas, a Staten Island resident, was taken into custody in Virginia last week. His arraignment was pending on Thursday. Lucas's accomplice, Taveon Hargrove, 23, was also arrested in Virginia last week but has still not been extradited to New York City, so he has not been charged yet, police said. Police said the suspects allegedly put a knife up to Officer Nafees Chowdhury's throat and stole his gun, iPhone, and wallet on St. Peter's Avenue at around 4 a.m. on May 24. Chowdhury was critically injured after he was stomped in the head, according to Mayor Eric Adams. The 27-year-old officer had just finished an overnight shift and was heading home. Surveillance footage shows Chowdhury, still in uniform, walking at 4:08 a.m. right before being attacked by two masked suspects. 'They approached him—one in front, one in the back—and they caught him off guard,' Adams said. 'One of them stepped on his face in a violent way.' Chowdhury, who has been a cop for eight months, was released from the hospital last week to a standing ovation from fellow cops and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. 'Come for one of us & you'll have the full force of the NYPD coming for you,' Tisch said in a post on X. The officer's brother-in-law, Gazi Hasan, said the family is devastated. 'The family is shocked about the situation,' he said.
