Good Samaritan stabbed in back breaking up Queens subway station fight
A 64-year-old man arguing with another commuter at a Queens subway station stabbed a good Samaritan trying to break up the fight, then knocked a 3-year-old boy to the station floor as he tried to escape, police said Saturday. Alleged stabber Larry Boards is facing two counts of felony assault, reckless endangerment, and harassment for the crazed confrontation at the 82nd St.-Jackson Heights No. 7 train station at about 4:15 p.m. Friday, cops said. Boards was arguing with another man on the elevated train platform when the 38-year-old victim attempted to break up the fight, police said. That's when Boards pulled a knife and jammed it into the good Samaritan's back, cops said. Boards ran off, but his victim gave chase. As he ran to the subway staircase, he bowled over the innocent 3-year-old boy, who was waiting for the train with a parent, cops said. Cops grabbed Boards at the station. The knife he used was recovered. Both the child and the stabbing victim were taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where they were treated and released.

Garbage truck, MTA bus, oil truck accidents claim 3 lives in NYC in 1 day
A 26-year-old man riding a gas-powered moped died after a Department of Sanitation garbage truck smashed into him in Queens, police said Friday. Both vehicles were traveling westbound on Bushwick Ave. in East Williamsburg around 9:30 a.m. when the 20-year-old garbage truck driver plowed into the moped rider while trying to turn right onto Flushing Ave., according to police. Medics rushed the young moped rider to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition, where doctors pronounced him dead. His identity is being withheld pending family notification. The driver of the garbage truck — which appeared to be brand new — remained at the scene, cops said. So far there have been no arrests as police continue to investigate. The collision was the second of three fatal accidents in the city Friday. Earlier in the morning in the Bronx, a 22-year-old man riding as a passenger on a Razor Racer electric bike operated by a 24-year-old man died after they collided with an oil truck at the intersection of Southern Blvd. and Bruckner Blvd., according to police. Then, around 2 p.m. in Queens, a 70-year-old man died when the MTA Q52 accordion bus he was waiting for hit him after he stumbled into the roadway while trying to get up from his walker as the bus approached near Hoffman Dr. and Woodhaven Blvd. in Elmhurst. Two more fatal collisions happened within 24 hours in the Big Apple on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing the total this week to five deaths from traffic accidents. Traffic and pedestrian safety was a major talking point at Thursday night's mayoral debate.

Man slapped NYPD shield from off-duty Queens cop's hand before attacking him: prosecutors
A 23-year-old man accused of attacking an off-duty cop in Queens smacked the NYPD shield out of the officer's hand before jumping him, prosecutors said Thursday. Police Officer Juan Guzman was sitting on a park bench near 81st St. and Northern Blvd. in Jackson Heights around 4:20 a.m. Saturday when he saw suspect William Garzon try to force a woman into a car, cops said. When he heard the woman scream, Guzman, 29, pulled out his shield and approached the pair, who were also accompanied by another man and woman. 'I don't think she wants to go with you,' Guzman told Garzon, according to court papers, after identifying himself as a police officer. 'Stop dragging the female into the car.' Outraged, Garzon slapped the shield out of the cop's hand and 'pushed him to the ground,' Queens prosecutors said. He and the other man are accused of then kicking the cop in the chest and punching him in the head. One of the two men put the cop in a headlock from behind, causing the cop to lose consciousness. When the cop revived, his attackers were gone, having fled the scene in a gray 2017 Ford Mustang, cops said. EMS transported the officer, who sustained multiple bruises over his body, to Elmhurst Hospital where he was treated and released. Investigators managed to track down images of the two suspects and shared them with the public, seeking tips about their identity. Garzon surrendered to police Wednesday morning and was charged with assault. Judge Sharifa Nasser-Cuellar ordered him held on $10,000 bail. His accomplice, described as Hispanic and sporting tattoos on both arms, glasses and a beard, remained on the loose Wednesday. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
