Girl, 12, r***d by stranger while entering NYCHA complex in East Williamsburg: police

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A young girl was r***d while entering her home in East Williamsburg on Thursday evening, and police released photos of a suspect as they search for the assailant.

It happened at about 5:45 p.m. as the 12-year-old entered her residence, NYCHA’s Cooper Park Houses near Morgan Avenue and Skillman Avenue, in East Williamsburg.

Once in the lobby the girl was approached by an unknown man who grabbed her, pushed her to the ground and forcibly r***d her, police said.

The suspect—last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt, black sweatpants, white and black sneakers and carrying a dark-colored backpack—fled on foot.

Medics transported the survivor to a local hospital in stable condition.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

FDNY commissioner resigns day after Zohran Mamdani mayoral win

Robert Tucker submitted his resignation hours after Zohran Mamdani was announced the winner of NYC’s mayoral election

NEW YORK — FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker tendered his resignation Wednesday, the morning after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral election victory at the polls, the Daily News has learned.

In a letter to Mayor Adams sent less than 12 hours after Mamdani’s win over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa, Tucker announced his last day will be Dec. 19.

“Between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition,” Tucker wrote in his letter, which was obtained by The News.

An FDNY source said there have been no talks between Tucker and Mamdani’s camp about the private businessman and philanthropist staying on as commissioner.

Tucker, who is Jewish and a Zionist, felt he wouldn’t mesh well with Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, and his team, the source said. Mamdani came under fire during the election for statements and positions that were seen by some as anti-Semitic.

Mamdani, 34, defeated Cuomo in the general election by garnering 50% of the vote, becoming the first Muslim mayor as well as the youngest New York City mayor in a century.

Tucker is the CEO of a private security company and a longstanding member of the board of directors of the FDNY Foundation, the official not-for-profit organization of the FDNY.

In August 2024, he was picked to replace outgoing FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh — who was appointed in 2022 by Mayor Adams as the first woman to serve in the top spot since the department’s creation in 1865.

On Wednesday Tucker was on his way to Israel to visit and learn from the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority. He’s expected to speak on his resignation when he returns, FDNY officials said.

All,

Tragic news out of Michigan as a Fire Lieutenant was killed in an explosion at his home. The Springfield Township (MI, north of Detroit) Firefighter, Lt. Jonathan Miner, 50, died in what appears to be the explosion of an old SCBA bottle-at his home Sunday.

According to initial reports - and media comments from his brother… “he was making a toilet paper roll holder with an old firefighting air (SCBA) tank"..... "He’s done it plenty of times before, and this time when he was doing it, when he cut it open.....it exploded with shrapnel." Springfield Fire was dispatched that morning to report a traumatic injury after "something had just blown up" not knowing it was one of their own.

INFORMATION/COMMENT: I was unsure what the report of this was specifically referring to (toilet paper and bottle), but one of our crew here at FFCC did a quick search and apparently these are sold on the www. Attached is a picture of what we think-but unconfirmed-was involved.

WITHOUT knowing the exact facts specific to the loss of Lt Miner, this is a grim reminder that discarded SCBA and related compressed gas bottles that haven't been fully and properly bled off and drained properly, create a highly dangerous risk. Our condolences to all those affected by this loss. Rest In Peace.
