🔮 Investigators are also looking to talk to anyone who may have seen Suarez jogging along the Belt Parkway between about 7:56 and 8:12 p.m. The new reward money in the case was being offered by Crime Stoppers, an NYPD program that offers cash to anonymous tipsters that help solve high-profile violent cases.

🔮 Although he was instructed to return to the hospital this week, he has been left in the dark about whether that surgery will even happen.
🔮 The victim, 27, was riding a northbound No. 2 train passing through the 225th Street station in Williamsbridge around 9:10 a.m. when an attacker sliced him with the blade, police said.
🔮 None of that stopped Mayor Zohran Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to.
