An ICE agent fired seven rounds into a gray Honda CR-V on Marble Hill Avenue with a 5-year-old in the back seat, hitting Oscar Belgal, 28, in the neck; DHS says it was arresting him over a grand larceny conviction and has not said why the agent fired.
Plainclothes federal agents in construction vests and masks boxed in Belgal's SUV near 2 Marble Hill Ave. a little after 4 p.m. Thursday; NYPD cameras showed one approach the driver's window with his gun drawn before the car moved out of frame [32][25]. NBC reports DHS says Belgal "rammed" ICE vehicles, a claim no other outlet has confirmed [37]. Belgal arrived at Allen Hospital in stable condition and the boy was unharmed; ICE later drove Belgal away in an unmarked vehicle after Mamdani spent two hours on the phone with Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin [32]. About 300 protesters clashed with police outside the hospital, and at least five were taken into custody [22].
“For the past two hours, I have been on the phone with President Trump and Secretary Mullin, negotiating the release of the man ICE agents shot.”
“When dangerous illegal aliens are released back onto the streets by radical sanctuary politicians, our officers are forced to make arrests at large in the community in unpredictable and dangerous environments.”
“I want to be clear: the NYPD had no involvement in the federal operation prior to the shooting, and no members of the NYPD were on scene at the time of the shooting.”

City & State New York - All ContentThe MTA scrapped three December weekend G shutdowns after crews finished leak repairs in the Newtown Creek tube early, but the line still splits in two on the next two October weekends.
The December closures were meant for more work in the tunnel between Greenpoint and Long Island City, damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 [81]. October is still messy: from 9:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 and Oct. 23, there's no G between Hoyt-Schermerhorn and Church Avenue, trains run in two pieces split at Bedford-Nostrand, and the MTA points riders to the F, which has its own Manhattan-bound-only changes [81]. Weeknights Oct. 12-16, there's no G between Bedford-Nostrand and Court Square from 9:45 p.m. to 5 a.m.; the free T403 shuttle bus replaces it [81].
“Reversing these shutdown dates means our shop owners can count on a full, uninterrupted holiday season this year.”
Median rent on new Manhattan leases held at $4,900 in September, the second-highest on record, with listings down for a 15th straight month.
Appraiser Jonathan Miller's figures count only new, brokered, market-rate leases, not renewals or rent-stabilized units [72]. His explanation is mortgage rates: renters who would otherwise buy stay put, so fewer apartments open up [72]. Rent-stabilized tenants are on a different track: their renewals are frozen at 0% for leases starting Oct. 1 [59].
“I don’t think there’s a scenario where rents fall sharply in a short period of time.”
On Sunday an Upper West Side resident, Elisabeth Williams, used a bird ID app to place the screeching outside her window: an American barn owl. By Wednesday she had photographed several perched on water towers and gliding past windowsills, and after comparing timestamps she told West Side Rag "there may have been up to four or five owls in total!"
