Briefly

An off-duty NYPD officer pulled a gun on three kids in Westchester during a road-rage incident, underscoring that a majority of NYPD officers live in the suburbs. Local reporting highlights persistent speeding and danger on Bedford Avenue, with dramatic driver speeds documented by community outlets.

The Port Authority is blamed for an uptown park closure and urged to improve management.
