# NYC Subway Stabbing: Man Fatally Stabbed After Dispute

A 38-year-old man was fatally stabbed on a NYC subway during the morning rush hour on Friday.  The incident stemmed from an argument with another passenger who had stepped on the victim's shoes. 

**The Attack:**
The stabbing occurred at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station in lower Manhattan.  The victim suffered multiple stab wounds to his torso and was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police are searching for a suspect described as a man in his 20s or 30s, wearing black clothing and black headphones.

**The Argument:**
The altercation began on a train after the suspect stepped on the victim's shoes. The stabbing continued after both men exited the train at the station.

**Recent Subway Crime:**
While violent crime on the subway is relatively rare, this incident follows other high-profile attacks, including a woman being set on fire and individuals being shoved onto the tracks.  These events have heightened concerns among riders.

Earlier this year, the NYPD reported a significant decrease in subway crime, marking the lowest first-quarter level in 27 years. However, this latest incident underscores the ongoing challenges in ensuring rider safety.

# NYC Destroys Over 3,500 Seized Illegal Firearms

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the destruction of 3,375 illegal handguns and 200 rifles.  This represents a fraction of the over 21,400 firearms seized since Adams took office.

The weapons were shredded in a gun chipper, with the resulting scrap metal slated for recycling.  Mayor Adams emphasized this action as a significant step in reducing gun violence and ensuring the safety of New York City residents.

**A Symbolic Act, But More Work Ahead**

While celebrating this achievement, Mayor Adams also acknowledged the ongoing fight against gun violence.  He highlighted the need for continued efforts to improve safety and reduce the presence of illegal firearms within the city.  The event included a poignant moment where families of gun violence victims were invited to call out the names of their loved ones.

**Ghost Guns and the Fight Against Illegal Firearms**

Over 1,400 of the seized guns were identified as ghost guns—untraceable, unserialized firearms often produced using 3D printers. These weapons are of particular concern due to their potential to fall into the hands of criminals and underage individuals.  The NYPD has recovered nearly 2,000 ghost guns since 2018.

The recycled metal from the destroyed firearms will be used to create a memorial honoring victims of gun violence at the School of Cooperative Technical Education (Coop Tech).

**NYPD's Continued Efforts**

The NYPD's Neighborhood Safety Teams, established in March 2022, play a key role in focusing on gun violence prevention.  Mayor Adams also underscored his administration's broader strategy, which involves various initiatives to reduce gun violence in the city.


New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Police Department (NYPD) and Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch, got together to celebrate the destruction of 3,375 seized illegal firearms.

# Congestion Pricing in NYC: DOJ Admits Weak Case Against Tolls

An internal Department of Justice memo reveals a weak legal standing in the Trump administration's attempt to end New York City's congestion pricing program.  The memo casts doubt on the success of their case, stating there's a "considerable litigation risk" in challenging the program.

## The Fight Over Tolls

The Trump administration, under Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,  has repeatedly ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to halt the Manhattan tolling program.  The MTA, along with New York City, has refused to comply.  Duffy even threatened to halt non-essential construction projects in Manhattan if the tolls aren't stopped by May 21st.

## DOJ's Admission of Weakness

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York expressed serious concerns about the administration's legal strategy in a letter to the Department of Transportation.  They highlight the unlikelihood of prevailing in court, citing concerns about the legality of the administration's actions.

**A DOT spokesperson responded with a statement calling the SDNY lawyers incompetent and suggesting their memo shows resistance to the administration's aims.**  The spokesperson argued that the congestion pricing program was hastily approved and unfairly burdens working-class drivers, suggesting the DOT may halt projects and funding for New York State if the tolls remain in effect. 

## Ongoing Legal Battles and Toll Effectiveness

New York officials maintain that congestion pricing is legal and will not be stopped.  The tolls have already demonstrably reduced traffic in Manhattan's Central Business District by 13% in March, with the MTA reporting over $51 million collected in February alone.

A judge has already rejected arguments from groups opposing the tolls and refused to halt the program during the ongoing legal battle.

The judge presiding over the case to end New York City congestion pricing is unlikely to side with President Trump&#039;s transportation secretary, according to an internal DOJ memo obtained by CBS News New York.

# Stowaway Caught on Camera Sneaking Onto NYC-Paris Flight

New surveillance footage reveals how Svetlana Dali, a 57-year-old Russian citizen, managed to board a New York-to-Paris flight without a ticket.  The video, obtained by the Associated Press, shows Dali cleverly slipping past gate agents at JFK Airport by blending in with a group of ticketed passengers.

<img src="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2025-04/250423-svetlana-dali-security-video-snip-ac-715p-71f807.jpg" alt="Svetlana Dali walking past gate agents">

## Dali's Daring Journey

Dali's journey began with an initial failure at a security checkpoint.  Unable to show a boarding pass, she was initially turned away. However, she then found a way into a restricted employee lane, bypassed security checks, and slipped onto the Delta Air Lines flight.

## The Chase Continues

The incident came to light when Delta crew members discovered Dali mid-flight.  After being detained in Paris, she was returned to New York and charged.  Further complicating matters, Dali was later arrested in Buffalo after attempting to flee to Canada and removing her electronic monitoring device.

She's currently being held in a Brooklyn federal lockup awaiting trial.  Prosecutors and her lawyer are currently exploring a possible plea deal.

## Key Events:

* **Initially stopped at security:** Dali's attempt to board the flight began with an unsuccessful attempt to pass security without a boarding pass. 
* **Sneaking past security:** She then cleverly bypassed security by infiltrating an employee lane and navigating through a screening area.
* **Boarding the flight:**  Dali expertly blended in with other passengers, slipping past gate agents unnoticed.
* **Discovery and arrest:** Dali was discovered mid-flight and detained in Paris, then extradited to New York, and arrested again in Buffalo while attempting to flee.
* **Ongoing legal proceedings:** A trial is pending, but a plea deal is a possibility.

The woman who was able to sneak onto a New York-to-Paris flight without a boarding pass late last year was able to get on the plane by glomming onto a group of ticketed passengers as they passed gate agents, new surveillance video shows.
