When NYPD officers spotted an 85-year-old man shivering outside the front steps of his Manhattan home in the middle of January, they immediately pulled over.
The elderly man told officers Vitaliy Zelikov and Georin Duran that a staff member for a medical transportation service carried him down the stairs when they picked him up for a doctor’s appointment earlier in the day. But he had to take a taxi home by himself.
He asked the cab driver for help, but the man said, “That’s not my job,” and drove off.
“Once we knew he needed to get inside the house, you know, that was the only way we could get him up,” Zelikov told Fox News. “We could carry him up safely, so we did.”
The 85-year-old told the cops he was a Navy veteran who served during the Korean War. He reminisced about the “olden days” when he volunteered for the NYPD in the early 1980s. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]A Staten Island woman who told authorities a “jilted panhandler” attacked her with acid, leaving her with terrible burns on her face, actually inflicted her own wounds, according to the New York Police Department.
The shocking incident hit the airwaves in New York on Monday, after the 52-year-old woman stumbled into a local convenience store with what appeared to be severe acid burns covering her face and neck. The woman told police that a man begging for change on the side of Woodrow Road had sprayed her with an “unknown liquid” after she refused to give him a cigarette.
“We thought it was a prank at first,” a witness told local news. “She came in here, she was banging on the door, banging on the door. She was almost fainting and falling.”
“When I tell you it was absolutely horrible — it looks like her face is melting off,” he added. “She couldn’t breathe, she was panting.” – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Delivery drivers have branded large parts of London “no-go zones” in which acid attacks and rampant knife crime have made them too fearful to work.
The frequency of assaults using corrosive liquid in the city — officially the world capital of reported acid attacks — has left drivers choosing to take a big pay cut rather than braving dangerous areas of London at night.
“We used to work till 2am – now people are stopping before 10pm,” one moped driver revealed to The Sun.“After 8pm or 9pm, we’re not going to those dangerous places.”
Places named by delivery men as areas of the UK capital which are too dangerous to work include Hackney and Stoke Newington — boroughs which local MP Diane Abbott boastsare “ethnically diverse”, noting just 36 per cent of residents describe themselves as white British. – READ MORE
