White Sox55-49Two men were stabbed blocks apart on the Upper West Side Thursday, and by Sunday the attack had become a weapon in the fight over the mayor's words about Israel's prime minister.
A man allegedly shouting "Allahu Akbar" stabbed a 50-year-old Jewish man outside a synagogue at Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street, then a 57-year-old Asian man near Central Park West, both Thursday [5]. Sunday, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Jewish leaders rallied nearby, blaming Mayor Mamdani's rhetoric toward Prime Minister Netanyahu for the climate that produced the attack, while protesters chanted for the mayor's arrest [5]. Netanyahu, asked about it on Fox News, said Mamdani is "trying to pit one group against another" and confirmed he still plans to visit New York in September for the UN General Assembly [1]. Mamdani has said his criticism targets Netanyahu as a leader, not people of any faith [1].
“There is no question that Zohran Mamdani's antisemitic rhetoric has fueled all of the antisemitism and the violence we now see in the city.”
“Mayor Mamdani's 'war criminal' video didn't just libel the Jewish people, it helped create the climate of hate that led to a Jewish man and an Asian man being stabbed on the Upper West Side.”
El Diario NYJacob Freytes was riding his bike home with a ball he'd just bought when a stranger's gunfight took his life.
Jacob Freytes, 12, the son of retired Bronx Detective Sgt. Jesus Freytes, was shot and killed outside a Mount Eden bodega Saturday evening when a fight among a group of men ended in gunfire [8][10]. Surveillance video shows Freytes stopping his bike to watch the scuffle at Elliot Place and Walton Avenue before he was struck and ran into the store, collapsing in an aisle [10]. Police arrested William Ferrer, 45, whose arrest record dates to 1999, and charged him with second-degree murder; two other men, 25 and 34, were wounded and are stable [8][10].
“Our children should be able to ride their bikes on a nice summer day in their neighborhood without fear of being shot.”
“Jacob was an innocent bystander on his bike when he was taken from his family yesterday in an act of senseless gun violence.”
“Let's get tough on crime.”
GothamistThe city's grace period on new federal SNAP work rules just ran out, and the first bill came due for thousands of young New Yorkers living alone.
New York City closed more than 22,200 SNAP cases in June, once a three-month grace period ended on federal rules requiring able-bodied adults without dependents to log 80 hours a month of work, school, or service [3]. The rule, from the reconciliation law President Trump signed last year, also erased automatic exemptions that used to cover homeless people and those aged out of foster care [3]. Commissioner Erin Dalton said the cuts cost the city more than $5 million a month in food aid, concentrated among adults ages 18 to 35 living alone [3].

Upstate at the Orange County Fair in Wallkill, a circus act delivered a very New York kind of Sunday: performer Ana Daza Tavera loosed a crossbow bolt meant for the foam target her colleague Edwin Cuervo Rangel was holding and caught him in the corner of the neck instead. He was airlifted to Westchester Medical Center in stable condition, and Circus Murcia says he's expected to make a full recovery, no drama, just the show and the city (and its outer reaches) rolling on [6].
