Pregnant woman, 32, mowed down by hit-and-run driver after late-night fender bender in NYC: police

A 32-year-old pregnant woman was struck and dragged to her death by an SUV after getting into a late-night Brooklyn fender bender with the hit-and-run driver — who remains on the loose, police said Sunday.
The tragic motorist, identified by police as Tiffany Cifuni, allegedly got out of her 2021 Toyota 4Runner to check for damage after a minor collision with a 2016 Chevy Trax at Van Buren Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard shortly before midnight Saturday, according to police.
That's when cops said the driver of the Trax gunned it and struck Cifuni from behind, dragging her before speeding away against traffic on Lafayette Avenue, a one-way street, an NYPD spokesperson said.
But the driver's rampage wasn't done — police said the Chevy struck a parked Volkswagen SUV while trying to get away, and then slammed into a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 38-year-old woman behind the wheel.
The crazed driver then got out and fled on foot, leaving behind the Chevy, which had temporary plates.
Police responded to the scene following a 911 call and found Cifuni, of Long Island, unresponsive.
She was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.
Her heartbroken in-laws told ABC7 that Cifuni was in her first trimester of pregnancy and had shared the news with them that she and her husband James were expecting their first child just two weeks ago.
The mom-to-be was coming home from the Beyoncé concert at MetLife Stadium when she was killed, according to the outlet.
The driver of the Grand Cherokee was not seriously injured in that crash.
The driver of the Chevy Trax remains on the loose, according to police.

Death of Food Network star Anne Burrell investigated as possible overdose amid shocking new details

The death of Food Network star Anne Burrell is being investigated as a possible drug overdose by the New York City Police Department, according to an internal document seen by The New York Times. Burrell, host of Worst Cooks in America and who appeared on Chef Wanted, Chopped, and Food Network Star, was found dead at her Brooklyn home on Tuesday morning. The document said Burrell, 55, was 'discovered in the shower unconscious and unresponsive surrounded by approximately (100) assorted pills.' First responder medical personnel who arrived at the property in response to a 911 call pronounced her dead at the scene. The Times was told by a spokesperson for the city medical examiner's office that an autopsy had been completed, but any findings on the cause and manner of death were still pending. Without naming Burrell but confirming details of the incident, including time, location, age, and sex of the deceased, a spokesperson for the NYPD told The Independent that the chief medical examiner will determine the cause of death, and the investigation remains ongoing at this time. Earlier reports suggested a possible cardiac arrest, citing the 911 call made that morning. The New York-born chef most recently appeared in the cooking competition show House of Knives, which premiered in March. However, in January, fans were surprised when she did not return as the host of the new season of Worst Cooks. Neither she nor the network provided an explanation for the change. In a January 10 Instagram post celebrating an event at Madison Square Garden, cheering on the New York Rangers and serving up a steak pizzaiola hero, fans expressed dissatisfaction with her absence from the show in their comments, many saying they missed her. Burrell replied to one question as to why she wasn't hosting: 'Honestly I don't know.' The Times reports that on the night before her death, Burrell had performed improv for the first time at the Second City New York in Brooklyn, where she had been taking classes. Friends and colleagues said she had recently spoken about taking on some new projects. Chef Andrew Zimmern, who had been with her a few months ago for a food festival in Puerto Rico, said, 'She definitely had something cooking.' 'She was excited about whatever it was she was working on,' he added. A week ago, Burrell attended a special event hosted by Chef Elizabeth Falkner at the Soho House in New York City. The two had been fierce competitors on The Next Iron Chef in 2011 and had lost touch, but they recently started texting more, Falkner told the Times. 'It was so fun to see her. She seemed really content, like there was a warmer side coming out,' Falkner recalled. 'She hung out all night. When she was leaving, she goes, 'I am so glad we have reconnected. I want to be a better friend.'' On the news of Burrell's death, The Food Network released a statement, saying: 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring.' Burrell is survived by her husband, Stuart Claxton, her step-son, Javier, her mother, her sister and her brother, according to People.

Seniors find they have to have their heads on a swivel to stay safe

The most vulnerable New Yorkers are taking it on the chin – and everywhere else – as felony assaults against seniors have doubled since 2019, The Post has learned. The NYPD has recorded 1,228 felony assaults against people aged 65 and over so far this year — compared to only 608 in pre-Covid 2019. The shocking surge comes as assaults in NYC overall are slightly down, by .3%. Advertisement 7 Caregiver Krystyna Gajewska, 66, and Eileen, 87, make sure they're home by dark. Helayne Seidman Things have gotten so bad that some adult children have hired aides to keep their elderly parents from being Gotham's next crime victim. An Upper West Side resident and retired principal who identified herself as Eileen, 87, said her son hired someone to be with her when she takes walks. 'When you get to be 88, you realize you have to protect yourself from your environment in ways younger people don't know,' the octogenarian said. 'Because they are not as easily assaulted as somebody my age.' Advertisement Attacks on the elderly so far this year run the gamut from random punches to bludgeonings to slashings, according to the NYPD. Some of the most shocking include: A 66-year-old woman was struck in the head by a stranger wielding a golf club around 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 25 in an unprovoked attack in the subway system, police said. The woman was left with a gash on the left side of her head, police said.

More than half of the people arrested had a prior arrest record. The spokesperson stressed that the entire criminal justice system has to work to bring the assaults under control. 'The NYPD has played their part, arresting individuals who are assaulting vulnerable, elderly New Yorkers,' the spokesperson said. 'Our city must be safe for all New Yorkers, regardless of their age, and we need every aspect of the criminal justice system to play their part to ensure that we stop the revolving door for recidivists.' 7 Police were seeking a man who allegedly pushed an 86-year-old woman to the ground in Manhattan. DCPI Advertisement Poland native Krystyna Gajewska, 66, works as Eileen's caregiver, said the two are vigilant. 'The bottom line — we don't go at night,' she said.

Upper West Sider Paul Trahan also makes sure to be home when night falls. 'I've made it a point to stay home at night,' said Trahan, 86. 'I'm not nearly as well physically able to deal with any such problem now. So that's all the more reason for me to stay home — and say the right prayers.' Advertisement 7 Paul Trahan, 86, only goes out during the day to avoid trouble. Helayne Seidman Bronx native Gloria Wiggins, 80, had some advice for seniors: keep your head on a swivel. 'My neck is killing me,' she said. 'I'm constantly looking around and watching.' Riverdale, Bronx, resident George Timko, 77, was saddened to hear about an increase in assaults against the elderly but said he didn't plan to make any changes to his life in the city. Advertisement 7 Bronx resient George Timko, 77, said that he wasn't aware there was an increase in assaults against seniors but that he still feels safe. Helayne Seidman 'I don't feel less safe,' he said. 'I've lived most of my life in the city … I go about my day in the city.' One policing expert suggested a public awareness campaign to make sure seniors know they're in danger. Advertisement 'You can't have a 100% increase mid-year without acknowledging that this is a significant issue,' said Chris Herrmann, a former NYPD criminologist who is now a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. 'I wouldn't fearmonger and say 'stay indoors' but the more simple stuff,' he said. 'Spend more time in groups, be aware of your surroundings.'

Rape reports on the rise across NYC. Here's what's driving the increase and how survivors are getting help.

Rape reports on the rise across New York City, NYPD data shows Rape reports on the rise across New York City, NYPD data shows Rape reports on the rise across New York City, NYPD data shows The New York City Police Department is reporting historic lows in murders and shootings across the city this year, but rape reports are on the rise. CBS News New York's Jennifer Bisram looked into what's driving these numbers and what's being done to help the influx of survivors coming forward. Bill signed in 2024 expanded definition of rape According to the NYPD, reported rape crimes in the five boroughs are up 22% – 893 so far this year compared to 730 at the same time last year. "When you look at the rising rape numbers, it's because of the sweeping changes that went into effect to the rape laws," NYPD Special Victims Unit Director Kathleen Baer said. In 2024, the "Rape is Rape" bill was signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul, expanding the definition of rape to include all forms of non-consensual sexual contact. But CBS News New York learned even without the changes, there's still a 1-3% increase of reported rapes in the city. "One is absolutely too many ... We don't control the survivors, when they're ready to come forward to report," Baer said Baer said another reason for the increased reports is NYPD outreach. "We're out in the communities we serve. We're doing outreach. We're in schools. We're in hospitals. We're in community centers," she said. CBS News New York Baer says detectives have been taking reports at the city's five Family Justice Centers, too, where survivors go seeking legal and social services. "Those advocates can also accompany the survivor at each part of the investigation," she said. Survivors are also connected to counselors and advocates from Safe Horizon, a victim service organization that has been providing support to survivors for 40 years. "Sometimes police precincts might be a little intimidating ... They can share with us freely," said Victoria Maiello, with Safe Horizon's crime victim assistance program. "When someone's sex assaulted, their power is essentially taken away from them." Former New Yorker speaks out after attempted rape In the Bronx back in 2018, a walk home from work to decompress dissolved into a nightmare for Pritvi Sammy when a predator sprang from the shadows. "His masculine hand was over my mouth and my nose at the same time, and then he took the other hand that was free and he had the blade on my neck," Sammy said. "My heart was beating out of my chest. My mind was racing. My legs kind of turned like a jelly." Sammy said she was so terrified she couldn't even scream. "He's about to drop his pants, and I'm shaking at this point," she said. "I said, 'Please, let me say my last prayer.' And at this point, I dropped to my knees." Sammy said by some miracle, her attacker ran and she escaped being raped. She reported it right away, and police say surveillance video helped lead them to her attacker within 48 hours. "After that attack, I could never see the Bronx the same way again," Sammy said. She moved out of New York City but is bravely sharing her story to encourage others to come forward if they were ever sexually violated. "I'm at a place where I've come to peace with that, and I want to use my voice now to help others," she said. Sadly, advocates say there are still many victims too afraid to come forward. If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual assault, you can call Safe Horizon's anonymous and free hotline at 1-800-621-4673 (HOPE).
