Two pilots are dead. Forty-one people are injured. And it may all come down to one air traffic controller doing the job of two. The jet hit the truck at nearly 100 miles per hour, obliterating the cockpit. Thirty-year-old Captain Antoine Forest and 38-year-old First Officer MacKenzie Gunther were killed. Today, as 500 flights were canceled, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that while multiple controllers were in the tower, staffing levels and workload remain central to the NTSB probe. This wasn’t just a tragedy—it’s a wake-up call for a system under pressure #aircanada #departmentoftransportation #zohranmamdani #kathyhochul #staralliance

Sean Duffy Remarks on Laguardia Airport Crash

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is outraged tonight after a publicized snowball fight in Washington Square Park turned into an assault on police. As the city dug out from a historic blizzard—dropping two feet of snow on Manhattan—officers were met with a barrage of snowballs and physical harassment from unruly teens. Despite the provocation, social media footage reviewed by APB News shows officers keeping their cool while pushing to safe zones. The NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office are now investigating, with detectives warning that arrests will be made before the week is out. #apbnews #nypd #snowball #snowballfight #snowremoval

NYPD Officers Targeted in Snowball Fight in Washington Square Park

Something is very rotten in the Big Apple. Many areas of the city are starting to look and smell like the old Fresh Kills Landfill after a snowstorm delayed trash pickup - leaving growing mountains of refuse across the sidewalk leaving New Yorkers angry with the City’s slow response. NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani warned again this week that garbage trucks that were first handling snow removal will now finally start making its regularly scheduled trash pickups. Frustrated residents say the trucks can't come soon enough. APB News saw mountains of bagged trash stacked up on the side streets as well as Seventh Avenue making it difficult for people to walk on the sidewalks. The Department of Sanitation told APB News that it was dealing with the backlog that was created from the snowstorm and freezing temperatures and acknowledged the accumulation of "tons of trash & recycling at curbs throughout NYC” will be picked up. The Department urged New Yorkers to continue to leave their garbage curbside and said it will get to it. #ice #snowremoval #garbage #meltice #nyclife @MichaelRapaport

Nicolás Maduro has traded the driver’s seat of a Caracas bus for a defendant's chair in Manhattan. Following a dramatic U.S. military capture, the ousted Venezuelan leader appeared in federal court to face serious charges of narcoterrorism and cocaine trafficking. Maduro remained defiant during his arraignment, pleading not guilty and claiming the status of a "prisoner of war." The defense is led by high-profile attorney Barry Pollack, known for representing Julian Assange. Pollack is expected to argue that Maduro’s capture was legally flawed and that he is protected by diplomatic immunity. Presiding over the case is 92-year-old Judge Alvin Hellerstein, whose age has drawn scrutiny from critics concerned about his ability to stay alert during a trial that could last until 2027. As legal maneuvering begins, it is clear that Maduro is no longer in control of his own journey. He now faces the full weight of the American justice system in one of the most significant trials in recent history. Stay tuned to APB News as we provide ongoing coverage of this unfolding international legal battle.

Once a Bus Driver, Now on Trial in NYC: Maduro’s Lawyer and Judge Revealed | APB NEWS

Friday, October 3, 2025 - Lower Manhattan NY The former music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been sentenced to over four years in a federal penitentiary and fined a half a million dollars for prostitution-related crimes tied to his notorious "freak-off" sex parties, which his former girlfriends testified in open court that they were forced to partake in. The 55 year old former rap star was convicted this past July for two counts under the Mann Act which is a serious crime to transport people across state lines to engage in sex work. The trial jury found Combs not guilty of more serious charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking under RICO statutes. If he had been convicted of those charges, he could have received a life sentence Just before he was sentenced, he tearfully acknowledged his past behavior was shameful, disgusting and sick and told the judge he is not the same person from a few years ago. Outside the courthouse, tempers flared as onlookers started arguing and screaming at each other then making threats forcing the NYPD to move in… Combs’ legal team played a highly Hollywood produced 12-minute video depicting his life as a family man, loving his wife and children. It ends with the children asking the judge to let their father come home...but that is not happening. Combs offered multiple apologies, including to his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura who the world saw the vicious beating she took which was caught on the hotel security camera in Los Angeles. Mike Leventhal spoke with famed women’s advocate attorney Gloria Allred before and after the sentencing for her take on the outcome. Mike asked Gloria if she was concerned if President Donald Trump would weigh in and offer a pardon to Combs despite knowing he vocally voted for Kamala Harris in the presidential election and wondered what a Trump presidency could look like. In the end the judge praised the women for speaking out and said a tough sentence was necessary to show the public that violence against women would be punished. Experts believe the sentencing appeal will not change anything and for the next three years, Combs will serve his sentence in a federal prison yet to be decided with the hope that he truly is rehabilitated and becomes the father he claims he wants to be.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sentenced to 4+ Years in Federal Prison After Tearful Apology in Court | APB NEWS

Wednesday, July 30, 2025 - Midtown Manhattan: By: APB Staff Writer Just days after a mass shooting took place outside and inside of 345 Park Avenue at East 52nd Street, New Yorkers are trying to get back to a sense of normalcy. The shooting left four people dead including an off-duty New York City police officer and a number injured. Detectives from the NYPD Crime Scene Unit remain at the building studying the layout and trying to get a better sense of how the incident took place. Two shattered lobby windows were boarded up in the wake of the violence created by 27-year-old Shane Tamura, who opened fire first in the lobby and then on the 33rd floor of the office complex before fatally shooting himself in the chest. Detectives now say there was a second note left in Tamura's Las Vegas apartment addressed to his parents, which might offer more of an explanation of why he did this - offering an apology. The NYPD said at a series of news conferences that Tamura's gripe was with the National Football League who is based in the building - stating he was angry with the league with head injuries sustained by players over the years claiming he sustained the same brain injuries when he played high school football. Among the victims was NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who had been working a private security detail inside the building when Tamura entered and opened fire in the lobby. Islam’s death shook the police department to its core that this happened as off-duty officers are allowed to accept private security work with permission from the department. This is a developing story!

A week after his partial conviction, APB News dives into what's next for Sean "Diddy" Combs. Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail, citing Diddy as a flight risk and potential danger, especially given past allegations of violence. With sentencing scheduled for October 3rd, the Probation Office is preparing a pre-sentencing report. While Diddy's team hopes for a lighter sentence, prosecutors are pushing for 4-5 years per count, and legal experts believe a lenient outcome is unlikely. Learn about his planned appeal, the possibility of a presidential pardon, and the 50+ civil lawsuits still pending against him.

Diddy's Fate: What's Next After Conviction?

It's been one week since Sean "Diddy" Combs' partial conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution under the Mann Act. APB News brings you the latest on his legal future. Judge Arun Subramanian firmly denied bail, citing Diddy as a significant flight risk and a potential danger, a decision reinforced by past allegations of violence including the infamous hotel incident. Sentencing is now officially set for Friday, October 3rd, 2025, a date confirmed after earlier discussions about moving it up. The Probation Office is currently compiling a crucial pre-sentencing report, which will play a major role in the judge's final decision. Legal experts highlight that aggravating factors, such as documented violent behaviors, are likely to influence the severity of the sentence. While Diddy's defense team is pushing for leniency, aiming for a term of 21 to 27 months including time served, prosecutors are advocating for a much harsher 4-5 years per count. Most legal analysts agree that a lighter sentence is highly improbable given the nature of the conviction. Beyond the federal case, Combs' legal team is preparing to appeal the conviction, and there's growing speculation about a potential presidential pardon. It's also important to note that Diddy still faces over 50 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. These are entirely separate from his criminal case and are expected to proceed regardless of his sentencing outcome. For now, Sean Combs remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, awaiting his fate. #Diddy #SeanCombs #DiddyConviction #MannAct #LegalUpdate #CourtCase #Sentencing #BailDenied #CelebrityNews #APBNews #JusticeSystem #TrueCrime #HollywoodScandal #MDCBrooklyn

Diddy's Conviction: What Happens Next? Bail Denied, Sentencing Confirmed for Oct 3 | #Diddy

The verdict is in for Sean "Diddy" Combs, but a major question hung over the courthouse: Where was the Hip Hop community? On the day the jury decided Diddy's fate after 14 hours of deliberation, mainstream Hip Hop support was conspicuously absent. APB News was on the ground with multiple camera teams, speaking with Diddy's best friend of 35 years, Charlucci Finney, who addressed the lack of music world presence. While federal prosecutors failed to prove Combs was a sex trafficker or ran an international criminal organization (the RICO charge did not stick), Diddy was convicted on two prostitution charges, each carrying a potential sentence of up to ten years. In a significant courtroom development, the judge denied bail for the 55-year-old music mogul, ordering him to remain in detention at the Brooklyn Federal facility. Possible sentencing is slated for Friday, October 3rd. Throughout the intense day, APB's cameras captured movements from Sean Combs' family, including his 85-year-old mother, Janice, who maintained an optimistic outlook. Defense attorney Mark Geragos stated the verdict exonerates him from over 80 civil lawsuits. However, veteran legal experts caution that many of those lawsuits are still considered valid and are expected to play out over the coming years. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HipHopNews #CourtCase #Verdict #RICO #NYC #Justice #MusicMogul #CelebrityNews

Monday, May 26, 2025 - Queens NY: An emotionally disturbed man was tracked down by subway riders who saw him exposing himself to young children on the N train on Monday night. The incident happened shortly before 9 PM as a group of passengers followed the man down the stairs from the subway on 31st Street where they saw him go into a TJ Maxx store. When he tried to exit a group of men blocked the door so he couldn't leave. People complained it took more than ten minutes for police from the 114 precinct to respond to the 911 call for help. Police eventually put the man in an ambulance. There has been an increase in violence and shoplifting throughout the broughs particularly in Queens. Governor Kathy Hochul claims reported gun violence across New York State has continued to decline, reaching the lowest level since the state began tracking this data in 2006. New statistics released by the State Division of Criminal Justice Services show a 15 percent decline in shooting victims and a 9 percent drop in shooting incidents with injury from January 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025, compared to the same period last year, in communities participating in the State’s Gun Involved Violence Elimination initiative. Analysts are quick to state that the numbers are down from extreme highs over the past seven years so it's illusionary.

Monday, February 17, 2025 - Astoria, Queens: By APB Staff Field Team Residents of this quiet Queens neighborhood woke up on Sunday morning to discover five cars had their tires slashed overnight. The crime took place along a block by the intersection of 42nd Street and 23rd road. The location is just one block from the famous Christo’s Steakhouse. At least two residents have already reported the slashing to Police in the 114 Precinct with others expected to do the same. One victim identified as Joe told ABP News that when the NYPD arrived, the officer refused to write a report because he couldn’t see the punctured holes in the tires. However, Joe showed APB the receipt for the replacement tires he had to buy. Another resident's SUV sustained more than $500 dollars in damage to the vehicle’s tires. Last week, six cars were vandalized with flat tires on Sound Street and 23rd Road. The victim also tried to file a police report but the dispatched cops said they couldn’t see any damage so they wouldn’t take one down. The cops said they thought that someone just deflated the tires and not slashed them but the car owner had the tires inflated and saw it lost air within 15 minutes but the police already left. Also, At least two people had their car tires slashed near Astoria Park - A tow truck driver who picked up the vehicles said it is part of an ongoing problem. Eli Barreto, with Country Wide Auto Collision, said he has towed several cars with slashed tires from the same spot on Shore Boulevard at the intersection with Astoria Boulevard South over the past several months. Barreto confirms there are knife slashes on the side of each tire. APB observed a house with many security cameras facing booth streets that might have captured the vandals in action. APB has been knocking on the door of this residence for two days with no response. APB has reached out to the 114 Precinct for an explanation as to why a detective has not been assigned this case as well to DCPI in Manhattan for comment. This is an ongoing case that APB will stay on top of.

Vandals Continue to Slash Tires in Astoria, Queens

Friday, February 14, 2025 Midtown Manhattan By: APB Staff Field & Studio Team It's been a whirlwind week for New York City Mayor Eric Adams following the Justice Departments dropping the federal corruption charges against him. President Trump’s Border Security Czar Tom Homan met with the Mayor in Manhattan to press him for a higher level of cooperation and to re-open Rikers Island to ICE agents to establish a base camp. Adams said he would issue an executive order allowing federal immigration agents to operate on Rikers Island, sparking immediate outrage from elected officials and advocates who said it violates the city’s sanctuary laws, which bars its cooperation with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It appears from the DOJ’s dropping of Adam's case, that the Mayor will comply with President Donald Trump’s effort to find and deport undocumented migrants in the five boroughs, starting with those who are accused of crimes. President Trump has reportedly grown impatient with the low numbers of deportations and wants the effort ramped up. ABP News took to the streets to see the activity at migrant centers which during our time on patrol was calm and quiet. This is a developing story that we will be staying on top of.

December 11, 2024 - New York City By APB Staff Research Team APB News has learned that Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old who was denied bail in last week’s murder of a health insurance executive in Midtown Manhattan, was reported missing to San Francisco police last month by his mother, Kathleen Mangione, who made the report to the San Francisco Police Department on Nov. 18, according to a police source with knowledge of the case. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Mangione had been in San Francisco or if his mother had reason to believe he was or just could not reach him and became concerned. Mangione is now being detained by police after being arrested on Monday at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s for questioning in relation to Wednesday’s shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He was arraigned in Pennsylvania on gun charges late Monday. As the NYPD arrived in Altoona, he was charged with murder in Manhattan in connection to Thompson’s killing and then denied bail by the judge. This is a developing story.

Friday, September 27, 2024 - Midtown Manhattan: Under heavy Secret Service and NYPD presence outside of Trump Tower this morning, former President Trump met Friday with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the two met to try and smooth out their rocky relationship. Zelenskyy looked quite uncomfortable during a brief appearance before reporters ahead of the meeting at Trump Tower, especially when the former president made it clear that he had a special friendship with Russian president Vladimir Putin claiming he will end the war if he is elected to a second term. After the meeting concluded, Trump departed for Michigan for two campaign events.

Sunday, June 2, 2024: Midtown Manhattan, New York City By: APB Staff Writer The spirit and focus of the parade was on solidarity rather than celebration. For this year, the event was renamed “Israel Day on Fifth Avenue” and continued to be among the largest gatherings in support of Israel around the world. The New York Police Department told APB News that they were organized and prepared to deal with protests by providing extra layers of security, barricades, metal detectors with special crowd control officers. The few protests were blocks away and there were no reports on arrests or disturbances. Parade organizers said that there were close to 100,000 marchers including 10,000 spectators and 200 participating schools and synagogues. The New York City Mayor's Office confirmed these numbers. With the deadly October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, the parade started out somber and serious and then after the hostage families were far ahead up Fifth Avenue, a festive atmosphere - with marching bands, floats and music - closed out the parade.

ISRAEL DAY PARADE BRINGS OUT MORE THAN 100,000 MARCHERS

Sunday, June 2, 2024: New York City By: APB Staff Writer As nearly 100,000 demonstrated Jewish unity up Fifth Avenue, the tone reflected eight months of war, with 120 hostages still held by Hamas, and growing global antisemitism. Over 70 family members of the hostages led a group of roughly 2,500 marchers representing the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group advocating in Israel on behalf of the kidnapped, APB News talked with members of the delegation of 70 hostage family members of different nationalities and religions, including Hamas captivity survivors to discuss their frustrations and grief. Usually a jubilant celebration, the annual parade now in its 59th year was clearly more somber in the wake of the October 7 atrocities to start the parade but then changed to more music and dancing to celebrate Israel to conclude the parade. On October 7th, thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed over the border with Israel and killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and kidnapped 252. The unprovoked attack was the deadliest in Israel’s history and likely the bloodiest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The conflicting emotions witnessed during the parade route were evidenced by the smiling faces of bystanders who quickly burst into tears upon seeing families of hostages marched by.

Wednesday, May 29, 2024 - Lower Manhattan By APB Video Field Team After Manhattan prosecutors and Donald Trump's defense lawyers delivered almost 10 hours of closing arguments on Tuesday, the case is now in the hands of the jury. The former president, Donald Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up an alleged affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels and which could have influenced the 2016 presidential election. Presiderning judge Juan Merchan gave the 12 jurors their instructions this morning, then they went to work. During the day, the jury asked for testimony readbacks which will take place on Thursday morning. The scene outside the courthouse was calm and somewhat jubilant throughout the day with the NYC Police Dept and FBI outnumbering Trump supporters who were penned off in the park. This was quite different from Tuesday when famed actor and president Biden supporter Robert De Niro held a news conference to denounce Trump which led into a shouting match with MAGA supporters. Earlier today, conservative artist Scott Lo Baido who is known for his patriotic work, was so angry with De Niro's remarks, that he spent the night in his studio to recreate a scene from Raging Bull with the former president knocking out the Academy Award actor. Lo Baido told APB News he could not sit by and let this just go away. Jury deliberations resume on Thursday morning.
