A large fight among about 10 people broke out in front of NYCHA’s South Jamaica Houses on 160th St. near Tuskegee Airman Way in South Jamaica just before 7:45 p.m., cops and witnesses said.

“They were fighting at first,” said an 82-year-old witness. “There were three shots, it stopped and then about two more. People were screaming, ‘They’re shooting! They’re shooting!’”

When the gunfire stopped, a black Hyundai with two men inside took off, police sources said.

Cops were called to the street, where they discovered the young victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the arm.

Medics rushed the girl to Long Island Jewish Medical Center in stable condition.

Later, two women ages 18 and 26 walked into Jamaica Hospital Medical Center for medical help, police said.

The older woman was stabbed in the chest and the younger one had lacerations to the head. Both were expected to survive their injuries.

The mayhem came a day after the oldest victim and her boyfriend were beat up by people who live in a neighboring building, a witness told the Daily News.

“They’re out front all day fighting and shooting craps,” the woman said of the people involved in the fight. “They’re out of control.”

There were no immediate arrests.

Juanita Vidal was running an errand for her 17-year-old grandson’s birthday with her 44-year-old daughter at the same time officers from the NYPD’s 83rd precinct attempted to pull over the driver of a blue Mazda CX-5 with Massachusetts plates at the corner of Eldert St. and Wilson Ave. in Bushwick around 5 p.m. May 9.

The driver instead took off northbound on Eldert St. and blew through two stop signs a block away at the intersection of Knickerbocker Ave. and Eldert St., cops said.

Video viewed by the Daily News showed the driver streaking through the intersection as police followed close behind. Just off camera, in the crosswalk, the driver slammed into Vidal and her 44-year-old daughter.

She was taken to Wyckoff Hospital but could not be saved. Her daughter, Jessica Vidal, was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center in stable condition.

The city Medical Examiner deemed Vidal’s death a homicide, cops said Wednesday.

Police are still looking for the driver, who ditched the totaled car after the crash and fled onto an L train at the nearby Halsey St. Station.

The driver was described by cop sources as a man with a ponytail wearing gray sweatpants.

The 29-year-old victim and the gunman got into a fight on an A train, which spilled out onto the corner of W. 145th St. and St. Nicholas Ave. upstairs, according to witness Rashard Flowers, who was in the same subway car.

“It was definitely four shots,” the 37-year-old told the Daily News. “He was shot in the arm and leg, his head was bleeding but he was able to get up.”

The victim ran into a Dunkin’ Donuts, where he collapsed.

“I’ve never heard gunshots so close and so loud,” said Flowers. “There are women and children out here — anybody could’ve gotten hit.”

The gunman took off on foot as cops raced to the scene just after 4:35 p.m., police said.

Medics took the victim to Harlem Hospital, where he was expected to survive.

There were no immediate arrests.

Employees at Rothschild TLV on Lexington Ave. near E. 79th St. arrived to work Wednesday morning to discover one of the tall front windows had been shattered overnight.

The manager and owner of the spot reviewed surveillance footage, which caught a man approaching the window at around 2:10 a.m., he said.

“We saw him on the footage,” Mike Kalbo told the Daily News. “His face was covered with a scarf. It was very difficult to see. He came with a tool in his hand to break the glass. We were targeted.”

The NYPD could not immediately provide details and it has not been determined the restaurant was targeted for serving kosher eats, though the department’s Hate Crime Task force has been notified of the incident.

The vandalism echoed a recent incident on the opposite side of town.

In March, Israeli restaurant Effy’s Cafe on W. 96th St. near Columbus Ave. on the Upper West Side was vandalized with pro-Palestinian graffiti.

The metal gate covering the cafe was covered with red paint at night, while “form line here to support genocide” was spray-painted in black on the sidewalk just outside the entrance. Another sidewalk message, painted green, read “Free Gaza.”

Kalbo believes his restaurant, named after a lively boulevard in Tel Aviv, was picked out by a vandal with similar intentions.

“What else could it be?” the restaurateur said. “A crazy person wouldn’t come with his face covered and a tool in his hand. It’s obvious. There is no doubt.”

The incident came on the heels of scores of protests across the city, including several pro-Palestinian encampments at city universities and colleges that ended in hundreds of arrests.

On Wednesday night, a small group of pro-Palestinian students said they were “occupying” the lobby of the CUNY Graduate Center in Midtown, though they left after declaring victory and saying administrators had agreed to forward their demands to the entire student body.

Meanwhile, antisemitism has surged in the city since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, prompting a ferocious war in Gaza. Antisemitic hate crimes more than doubled that month alone.

As of April 14, there were 96 hate-fueled incidents targeting Jewish people, according to NYPD stats. The figure marked a 45% uptick compared with the same time frame last year, when cops investigated 66 antisemitic hate crimes.

The attacks against Jewish New Yorkers made up 56% of all hate-motivated crimes across the five boroughs, the stats showed.

Wednesday’s incident left Rothschild TLV manager Deana Pekanovic rattled.

“I was shocked,” she said. “It’s really horrible this happened. It’s been a while since the war started, and we’ve never had any issues here. We’ve only had support. We’ve never had any problems.”

The gold seized by the FBI actually belong to the powerful New Jersey Democrat’s second wife, Nadine, and he had no idea she had any gold other than her family’s gold, Menendez’s lawyer Avi Weitzman told jurors in Manhattan Federal Court.

And the cash, found stashed throughout the house, was money Menendez withdrew bit by bit over three decades, keeping it in the house because of generational trauma, Weitzman said. His parents were Cuban refugees who lost everything but the cash they hid in a grandfather clock, so he knew the value of keeping money in the house, the lawyer said.

“Of course there’s an elephant in the room, a green and gold elephant,” Weitzman said. “There are innocent explanations for the gold and the cash.”

Menendez, 70, who’s served as a U.S. senator since 2006, is accused of accepting bribes from N.J. businessmen Wael Hana, Fred Daibes and Jose Uribe in exchange for using his influence as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to benefit Egypt and Qatar, and to interfere with criminal investigations in New Jersey.

Hana and Daibes are also standing trial, while Uribe has turned government cooperator. Menendez’s wife, Nadine, faces a separate trial in July.

In an opening argument that stretched over an hour, Weitzman used a flashy slide presentation that riffed off the popular “Where’s Waldo” children’s books, with an image titled “Where’s Bob?” to suggest that he had no involvement with any financial dealings between his wife and businessmen like Daibes.

He started dating his wife in 2018 and moved into her New Jersey home in 2020, the year they were married.

“Nadine had financial concerns that she kept from Bob. She was often supported by others,” Weitzman said. “But she kept Bob sidelined from those conversations. And you’ll see that in black and white.”

“Where’s Bob? I’ll tell you where, he was doing his job, in the nation’s capital.”

Weitzman said that the gold bars found by the feds, which prosecutors say came from Daibes, were actually found in his wife’s locked closet, and Menendez didn’t know what she had in there.

“He knew that she had family gold,” Weitzman said.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara Pomerantz argued that the gold and cash were the price of Menendez selling out his country, as was a new Mercedes-Benz convertible for Nadine that Uribe paid for.

“He was powerful. He was also corrupt. For years, Robert Menendez betrayed the people he was supposed to serve by taking bribes,” she said. “This was not politics as usual. This was politics for profit … Robert Menendez was a United States senator on the take.”

Menendez, who was previously charged with corruption in a separate case that ended in a mistrial, was running a multi-pronged bribery scheme with his wife as a go-between, Pomerantz said.

The prosecutor described Hana as a failed businessman with connections to the Egyptian government. Hana, she said, bribed Menendez to leak nonpublic information about the U.S. embassy to Egyptian officials, to secretly ghost write a letter meant to respond to other senators’ concerns about human rights abuses, and to help approve the sale of almost $100 million of tank ammunition to Egypt.

Hana got a benefit of his own — a monopoly on the export of halal meat from the U.S. to Egypt, at the expense of other U.S. companies that used to do that business, the prosecutors said. And when a USDA official voiced concerns, Menendez tried to run interference and muscle that official into backing down, she said. The attempt didn’t shake the official’s attempts, but Egypt still gave Hana the monopoly, she said.

Menendez also tried to pressure the N.J. attorney general and the state’s U.S. attorney into dropping criminal cases against pals of Uribe and Daibes, the prosecutor said.

Menendez’s defense lawyer said all of his actions were just part of the normal duties of being a senator — taking interest in international matters and issues that impact his constituents. The senator had no power over the criminal cases, Weitzman said, and he was just asking about allegations that Latino businessmen were being targeted for selective prosecution.

“That’s not illegal. You may not like it. But it’s not illegal,” he said. “Listening to a friend is not a crime.”

The trial continues tomorrow with opening arguments from Hana and Daibes’ lawyers

The two students, ages 15 and 17, faced off at the Stephen T. Mather Building Arts & Craftsmanship High School on W. 49th St. near 10th Ave. about 1:20 p.m. on Tuesday, police said. The younger teen was slashed in the face while the older boy was stabbed in the chest during the clash.

Both were taken to area hospitals with minor wounds, cops said. About three hours later, cops charged each boy with assault for attacking the other. The teens’ names were not released because of their age, police said.

The school was put into a soft lockdown following the clash, an Education Department spokesman said. Students were told to move out of sight and keep silent while teachers checked the hallway, locked classroom doors and turned off the lights.

The school is nonscanning, meaning students are not required to walk through metal detectors on their way in, sources said.

About the same time in the Bronx, a 15-year-old boy attending the Evander Childs Educational Campus on E. Gun Hill Road near Bronxwood Ave. in Williamsbridge was slashed in the back of the neck during a fight with an older boy.

The teen refused medical attention, and the 17-year-old who attacked him was charged with assault, cops said.

And about 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday, an 18-year-old student at the Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts and Sciences was stabbed in the back and slashed in the left arm during a fight with a fellow student. No arrests have been made in that incident.

Over the past two months, the bandits used the popular online bazaar to advertise they were selling a car, investigators said.  On six occasions, they arranged to meet up with someone looking to purchase their vehicle but instead robbed the buyer of the cash earmarked for the auto.

The crew have stolen about $27,000 cash during the heists as well as two cars belonging to their victims, cops said.

The crooks are also wanted for swiping a 26-year-old woman’s car they found unoccupied and running off the Cross Bronx Expressway near Olmstead Ave. in Parkchester on Dec. 29.

They started their Facebook Marketplace spree on March 10 when they showed up at Dark St. and Dyre Ave. to meet a 36-year-old man who wanted to buy the car they had advertised. But once he arrived they brandished the menacing-looking club with nails protruding and robbed him of $3,000.

Two days later, they met up with another potential buyer, this time at Yates and Waring Aves., near the Bronx’s Pelham Parkway neighborhood, and put the 21-year-old man in a chokehold as they stole his cash and cell phone, cops said.

On April 8, the crew struck again, this time at Wilder Ave. and E. 233rd St., about a block from Seton Falls Park. During the afternoon robbery, three of the crooks confronted two men, ages 23 and 55, with a gun and metal bat. They struck the younger man in the head with the bat and fled with $10,000 cash the victims hoped to buy the vehicle with as well as the Honda the two men arrived in, cops said. The struck victim was treated by medics at the scene.

During that robbery, the crooks’ vehicle sported a license plate stolen from a car outside Calvary Hospital earlier that day, cops said.

On April 18 when the crew arranged to sell a car to two men, ages 24 and 29, on Rombouts Ave. near Dark St., about a block from their first Marketplace robbery, cops said. During the “sale” two crooks pulled a gun on the older victim and robbed him of $4,000.

As the month drew to a close, the crew briefly moved their operation to Queens, where they robbed a 55-year-old man on 65th Ave. near 160th St., about a block from the Long Island Expressway. During the April 25 heist, the crooks were posing as car buyers not sellers when they pulled a gun and robbed the victim of his vehicle, cops said.

Four days later, they were back on Rombouts Ave. in the Bronx, robbing a 22-year-old car buyer of $10,000. During the 11 a.m. robbery, the bandits pulled a gun and demanded his cash and cell phone, cops said. The crooks ran off up Rombouts Ave. toward Mount Vernon, across the county line in Westchester, cops said.

The crew’s last known heist occurred May 7 when they lured a 28-year-old man back to Dyre Ave. after advertising a vehicle on Facebook Marketplace. They pulled a knife and robbed the victim of his belongings and again were last seen heading toward Mount Vernon — this time in a gray Mercedes-Benz.

Detectives tied the string of robberies together after recovering surveillance footage of multiple incidents showing the same perpetrators, a police source said.

Facebook created Marketplace in 2016. By 2021, the wildly popular meet-up spot for buyers and sellers was getting more than a billion visitors a month, according to the website bigcommerce.com.

Cops on Tuesday released surveillance images of the suspects and asked the public’s help identifying them and tracking them down. Cops also released screenshots of some of the Facebook profiles they used to lure victims.

Manhattan Federal Court Judge Sidney Stein spent part of Tuesday afternoon hearing from dozens of jurors who said they had family members and friends in law enforcement jobs. Most, but not all, said they could still be impartial in the case.

The 70-year-old Democrat is accused of conspiring to act as a foreign agent for Egypt as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and of abusing his position to advance Qatari interests in exchange for gold bullion bars, flashy watches and Formula 1 tickets. He denies the charges.

“We’re getting closer every time you see me,” Stein said Tuesday. He told the attorneys that he expects the jury to be selected by mid-morning Wednesday, with opening arguments later in the day.

The trial is expected to last six or seven weeks.

N.J. businessmen Wael Hana and Fred Danies will stand trial alongside the veteran politician, while Menendez’s wife, Nadine, will face a separate trial in July.

Stein spent Monday and Tuesday winnowing down a pool of 150 prospective jurors, dismissing more than 70 of them. Many had a variety of personal obligations or medical concerns that would have prevented them from serving.

One said he suffered from an extreme fear of heights that would make him uncomfortable in the 23rd-floor courtroom.

More than 30 of the remaining jurors were questioned Tuesday on their jobs and occupational backgrounds, how they get their news and what they do in their spare time.

The majority of those questioned have a college education or better. One potential juror, a lawyer with a large bank, offered a surprising detail — he donated money to Menendez and several other campaigns through a political action committee. He said he could still be impartial.

Stein on Tuesday afternoon went though a list of several hundred names of people who might either be witnesses or otherwise mentioned in testimony — including David Axelrod, the chief strategist for former President Barack Obama, and several U.S. senators including Marsha Blackburn, Cory Booker, Christopher Coons, Lindsey Graham, Tim Kaine, Chris Murphy and Krysten Sinema.

“I’m still afraid, so I’m home,” driver Eufelix Jiminian, 26, said of the harrowing clash with his passenger. “I’m not going out.”

Jiminian, 26, spoke out at a Tuesday press conference after driving up in his bullet-riddled white Toyota Highlander, which still has a slug lodged in the rear-passenger tail light.

“When the bullet hit the side of the car, he said it felt like an explosion. It felt like if he had hit the tire and the tire had blown up,” Fernando Mateo, a spokesman for the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, said at the press conference as he translated for Jiminian, who speaks Spanish. “It was a very scary moment because it was metal lead hitting metal. And just the sound alone was scary.”

The cabbie was just about to drop his fare off on Bronx Blvd. and Carpenter Ave. in Williamsbridge at 4 a.m. on May 1 when the passenger claimed they were at the wrong location, video from Jiminian’s dash cam shows.

“This isn’t Uber, buddy,” the passenger said, refusing Jiminian’s request to look at the passenger’s phone to double check the requested dropoff address.

As Jiminian began to drive on to find the right spot the passenger opened the door and stepped out of the moving car without paying the fare, leaving the door open, the video shows.

As the cabbie tried to figure out what was happening, the passenger could be seen from the open passenger door pulling a gun and running after the car.

At least five shots were fired, hitting the rear of Jiminian’s auto as it sped away, cops said.

“(Jiminian) told the passenger, ‘No, I was told to drop you off here.’ Then the passenger said ‘No!'” Mateo said at the press conference. “That’s when he jumped out of the car, and he shot five times as he was rolling away.”

The federation is offering a $3,000 reward for information about the gunman’s whereabouts.

“He said he has flashbacks,” Mateo said of Jiminian’s experience. “He’s only been able to work maybe three hours a day. He relives it over and over in his mind.”

Jiminian is a native of the Dominican Republic. Driving fares is in his blood: both his mother and father have been cabbies, Mateo said.

The victim had driven cabs for six years, mostly working the night shifts. While he’s never been shot at before, he was somehow always prepared for the possibility, Mateo said.

“He’s happy it happened to him because if it would’ve happened to someone else maybe they wouldn’t have been prepared like he was prepared,” said Mateo. “He was strong at the moment.”

Yet that bravado dwindled when the police took him to where he picked up and dropped the gunman off.

“He was concerned that the guy would show up somehow and start shooting again,” Mateo said.

New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers President Antonio Cabrera said bringing back the NYPD checkpoint program for cab drivers, in which cabbies give permission in advance for cops to stop their vehicles and check their passengers for weapons, could have prevented this.

“We need to make sure riders are unarmed when boarding a cab,” Cabrera said. “Drivers are sitting ducks, and we need to protect them.”

The gunman is believed to be between 19 and 25 and was wearing a black vest and black jeans.

Anyone with information about his identity or whereabouts is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

Clifton Williams, 50, is accused of socking “The Big Lebowski” star in the face as he walked on Third Ave. near E. 27th St. in Kips Bay  just before 11:50 a.m. Wednesday, police said.

Medics took Buscemi to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye.

Buscemi was “OK” after the attack, according to the actor’s publicist.

Surveillance photos released by police Tuesday show the attacker, who is still being sought.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
