Andy Byford must be too busy scraping gum from underneath a bench to comment on safety issues plaguing the 7 line. Mayor McSleaze is too busy running for president and defending his wife who is siphoning hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on her bogus mental health initiative. There have been shooting, slashings, and sex assaults on minors. But it’s safe. The roaring 80s are back!

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
