Aaron Fulk, 48, was caught on camera brutally attacking 66-year-old Rodney Peterman, striking him in the back of the head multiple times with a metal pole
Donny Ubiera (left), 32, slashed two subway commuters on the 7-line train in Queens on Friday and Saturday, just a day after being released from jail for his refusal to put his knife away, as ordered by cops. He was later arrested on Saturday (right) after police recognized him wearing the same outfit that wore when he carried out both stabbings (inset), as recorded by CCTV footage. ‘Your police are doing their job. We keep arresting him,’ NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a statement issued on Sunday. ‘His record demonstrates that each time he is involved in unprovoked violence against innocent victims the criminal justice system has him back to the streets and the subways rather than jail or psychiatric treatment,’ she added. ‘He inevitably targets another victim. This is nothing if not predictable.’
Samer Abdalla, from Brooklyn, was knifed in the stomach after a brawl with four men on Sixth Avenue near West 4th Street at around 1.30am. Horrified witnesses said he collapsed into a car before being rushed to hospital where he passed away. Four suspects fled the scene after the vicious attack and the NYPD said no arrests have been made. It came just hours after another murder in the city last night as a man was hacked to death outside a gas station in Queens. Greenwich Village rarely sees violence and is awash with younger residents who frequent its popular bars and restaurants. But it comes amid a tsunami of crime battering New York City as mayor Eric Adams comes under fire again to stamp it out.
Baltimore trauma surgeon Madhu Subramanian was raced to his own ward on Friday after he was shot in an attempted carjacking on his way to work. Subramanian, 38, was shot multiple times around 7 am at the 1110 block of E. 36th Street in Northeast Baltimore, near the intersection of Loch Raven Boulevard. Responding officers found the injured doctor nearby at the 1200 block of that street, according to The Baltimore Sun. Subramanian specializes in acute care surgery, trauma surgery, surgical critical care and burn care at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he has worked since 2020, according to the hospital’s website. His wife, Erica Hodgman, is also employed there as a pediatric surgeon. His fellow trauma surgeon, Dr. Joseph Sakran, detailed his shock at seeing his colleague as a critically-injured patient. He wrote that he initially thought that news of the shooting was an April Fool’s Day prank. ‘As a Survivor of #GunViolence and a Trauma Surgeon at @hopkinsmedicine, I’ve seen this public health crisis from numerous vantage points,’ he tweeted Friday evening. ‘Despite my own experience, nothing prepares you when the person you have to take care of is one of your own… In the heat of the moment, we often compartmentalize the emotion that goes along with caring for these injured patients… How do you do that when it’s one of your own?’
