NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A man who got pushed off a subway platform in Brooklyn is talking about his terrifying experience. The incident was the latest in several recent unprovoked subway shoves that have commuters on edge, CBS2’s Christina Fan reported Monday. MORE : Seen On Video: Another Subway Rider Pushed Onto Tracks At Brooklyn Station Ryan Schoenherr is the man seen on video getting shoved onto the Atlantic Avenue subway tracks by a complete stranger. Speaking with CBS2 exclusively a day later, he said he is relieved to have walked away unscathed after hearing similar attacks on other riders. “It happened all so fast, I think the fear sort of happened after. Looking at those videos and being like, oh, I could have gotten really hurt,” Schoenherr said.

In the past week there have been two other similar attacks. On Thursday, a homeless man shoved a woman into the path of an oncoming train . The day before, a man was shoved off the platform at Bryant Park. Mayor Bill de Blasio addressed the unsettling trend on Monday. “The NYPD is going to be increasing its presence in the subways. That will be very visible. We continue to expand our mental health efforts,” de Blasio said. Fan pressed the city for specifics, but was only told officers would be added to high-traffic subway stations.

The transit system is for people who are using it to travel. MTA and NYC Transit, our personnel are out there in the system, we are doing our best to make sure the commuters, New Yorkers, are safe,” Feinberg said. “We have a crisis in this city with mentally ill people who need help, and it absolutely needs to be addressed, and I’m desperate for this mayor or the next mayor to take it on because we’ve got a long way to go.” Schoenherr agrees. “I’m hoping the city can approach this issue with empathy and making sure it is treated in a humane way,” he said. Schoenherr said that would mean help instead of jail time for the man who shoved him. Early Tuesday morning, police arrested 33-year-old Michael Medlock in the case. He was charged with attempted assault, reckless endangerment and menacing.

Thousands Of Free Thanksgiving Meals Distributed On Long Island: ‘It Means A Lot’
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Turkeys, hams, fresh produce, dairy products — enough to feed thousands of Long Island families — were distributed Monday amid tears of gratitude. As CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Monday, Nicoletta Trakosas of Elmont was in one of 3,000 cars outside Nassau Coliseum, hoping to get a box filled with a Thanksgiving turkey and all the fixings. “It’s a really difficult situation with COVID going on, with us not working and what they are doing is wonderful,” she said. MORE : Food Banks In Growing Need Of Donations As New Families Experience Food Insecurity During Pandemic “Have you ever been in a food line before?” McLogan asked. “Never. It’s my first time, and I’m 61 years old,” she said. Food banks like Island Harvest say the pandemic has created the most challenging food crisis they have ever faced. “The need through Island Harvest is 100% of what it was last year. Food insecurity is real, economic insecurity is real,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran . “It means a lot. There’s sometimes we can’t buy food,” said 11-year-old Genesis Maldonado.

Last year, the Lugos of Levittown passed out turkeys. “For many years, I volunteered,” one said. This year, they’re on the receiving end. “It’s a relief.

So, they waited in line after finding it hard to ask for help. “How difficult it was for them to actually drive up to the food line because it was such a humbling experience, to ask for food for the first time,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO of Island Harvest . “There is good still in this world, and for people to care so much,” said Simone Ferebee. Her family can now look forward to Thanksgiving. Her message to the pantry and volunteers? “When I get up there if I could hug them, I would,” she said. A dramatic surge of giving, and thanking.

Demanding Answers, Getting Action: Following CBS2 Report, Kristin Bruan Gets Daughter Seated In City’s Learning Bridges Program
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — CBS2 has an update on a story it first reported Sunday night. As New York City schools operate remotely, some say a city day care program is turning away students with special needs. CBS2’s Lisa Rozner demanded answers on behalf of one mother, and Monday she got action. “She had to stay home. I was not able to secure any child care, so I cancelled my in-court appearance,” Kristin Bruan said. Bruan, a public defender with the Legal Aid Society , feels defeated by city schools. She spent Monday morning hearing criminal cases virtually, and had to isolate her 9-year-old daughter, Alice, who has ADHD, to learn in a separate room. Monday was supposed to be Alice’s first day enrolled in the city’s free child care program, known as Learning Bridges, being held at a tennis club on Roosevelt Island where Bruan lives. MORE : Parents Of Special Needs Students Say They Are Being Shut Out Of NYC’s Learning Bridges Program “I don’t want to be on virtual school anymore,” Alice said. On Sunday, CBS2 reported the site accepted — and then rescinded — Alice’s seat, saying it could not enroll children with individualized education plans (IEP) due to staffing limitations. The city said it would follow up with the family Sunday night. “No. Never. Not yesterday, not this morning, not today,” Bruan said. CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC Explanation Of N.Y.’s Yellow, Orange, Red Zones (.pdf) Health Experts Stress Need To Fight ‘Mask Exhaustion’ Tri-State Area Coronavirus Travel Advisory List CBS2’s Dr. Max Answers Your Health Questions Resources: Unemployment, Hunger, Mental Health & More Remote Learning Tools For Parents Teaching At Home Complete Coronavirus Coverage On Monday, Mayor Bill de Blasio even claimed he had not heard of anyone being turned away, including Bruan’s daughter. “If a child was turned away, a family that qualified their child was turned away, that’s just wrong. We won’t allow that. We’ll track down that situation and make sure that that child gets a seat In Learning Bridges for sure,” the mayor said. MORE : Sudden Switch To Remote Learning Means Particular Challenge For Students With Special Needs “He’s lying… shame on the mayor,” said Bruan, who heard from parents across the five boroughs who applied for multiple Learning Bridges programs. “Just in the last 72 hours I’ve had about 30 parents reaching out to me, telling me that their children were also turned away because their children had learning disabilities.” On Monday afternoon, it was not the city, but Skip Hartman, who oversees the Learning Bridges program on Roosevelt Island, that told Bruan a mistake was made, and Alice will have a spot Tuesday. “It’s just three weeks. We’ve had to hire a lot of people. I did not focus clearly enough on the distinction between special needs children,” Hartman said. “As a result of the CBS story, I’ve had to refocus on that issue.” But Hartman only oversees the program on Roosevelt Island. Parents elsewhere said other Learning Bridges programs, overseen by other administrators, are not accommodating their kids. Heather Fisher of Queens said one could not accommodate her son, Jordan, who is on the autism spectrum. “And I was like, what happened if you have a student who needs a lot of redirection? ‘Well you know this may not be the best setting for them,’” Fischer said. MORE : Coronavirus Closure: Mayor De Blasio Under Fire As New York City Public Schools Return To All-Remote Learning Advocates for Children of New York said it has been getting the complaints, and has been asking the city to increase funding and staff to Learning Bridges programs. On Monday evening, Advocates for Children of New York filed a class action lawsuit against New York City’s Department of Education on behalf of students with disabilities. Link : Read the lawsuit (.pdf) “Tens of thousands of students with disabilities have gone months without appropriate educational services, with many losing the progress they had made. These students should receive the compensatory services they need as quickly as possible, without having to jump through cumbersome legal hurdles that will favor families able to afford lawyers and leave economically disadvantaged students behind,” said Kim Sweet, executive director of AFC. A city spokesperson said students with disabilities are being given priority, and small group sizes are being offered. He acknowledged Learning Bridges does not have the full range of support services as schools, and that it’s working to identify those for sites so the city can serve as many students with disabilities as possible. The city said it has accepted nearly 40,000 students into its free day care program. A little more than a quarter of them are special education students.

Aggressive Effort To Curb COVID-19 infection Rates Begins On Staten Island; N.J. Restrictions Looming
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Bill de Blasio reminded everyone Tuesday that the city is on the brink of a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. Efforts to combat the rise started on Staten Island in the morning and soon will begin in New Jersey as well, CBS2’s John Dias reported. Commuters were greeted differently at the Staten Island Ferry. City workers made sure everyone at the terminal had a mask, and understands that free testing at the site starts on Thursday. Web Extra: Click for more about COVID-19 testing in NYC As part of the Staten Island “day of action,” dozens of workers and volunteers spread across 10 locations around the island. Their main message: COVID-19 compliance. “When it comes down to stuff like this, we know how to come together and deal with stuff like this,” commuter Francisco Gomez said. “I think it’s good. It’s happy to see people still wearing masks,” resident Thomas Preacher added.

It’s an everyday struggle,” said Ryan Harris of the Millburn Standard restaurant. “It’s gonna get rough with December, January, February coming.” Back in the city, de Blasio said he is still worried about a second wave, but believes we can fight it back. “If you said, could we continue like this and keep fighting until we got to a vaccine that would could believe in? The answer is yes,” the mayor said. Staff and volunteers will be back at it on Staten Island during rush hour, passing out more masks and more pamphlets in an effort to get out as much information as possible before Thursday.

Experts Warn: Horseshoe Crabs, Crucial To Helping Create Vaccines, Are Facing Extinction
WEST SAYVILLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The safety of any new coronavirus vaccine will depend on the help from an ancient marine creature. Horseshoe crabs have been helping pharmaceutical companies for decades keep vaccines free of contaminants. But, now their own future is in question. “Horseshoe crabs have been on Earth for 445 million years,” said John Tanacredi, the director of Molloy College ‘s Environmental Research and Coastal Oceans Monitoring lab. They survived the age of the dinosaurs, but will they survive the 21st century? MORE : Fishermen: Legislation To Protect New York’s Horseshoe Crabs Is ‘Overkill’ Fewer and fewer horseshoe crabs are seen on Long Island beaches. “Extinction is forever.

Expert: Parents Be Mindful Of Children’s Stress After Months Of Isolation Chopper 2 Over Empty NYC Streets, Landmarks Complete Coronavirus Coverage Tanacredi said horseshoe crabs are in dire straits due to over-harvesting for bait, consumption and loss of habitat. Of the 115 beaches the program monitors, 75 have seen horseshoe crabs disappear. They are fascinating creatures that don’t harm humans, but rather do much to help. Their unique blood is used to make sure IV drugs and vaccines are safe. Vaccines like those being developed to fight COVID-19 . “Horseshoe crab blood is harvested to produce limulus amebocyte lysate, LAL. That is a detecting system for bacterial contamination,” said Tanacredi. Pharmaceutical companies harvest the blood and then return the crabs to the water. “We have a 450 million-year-old creature that for the last 45 years has improved the safety of medicines for humans and animals,” said John Dubczak, the executive director of Charles River Laboratories. “Without LAL, you’re not going to be able to produce the billions of inoculations that are going to have to come about to handle this pandemic,” said Tanacredi. Researchers believe horse shoe crabs have less than a decade of survival if more isn’t done to protect them, a species that uniquely protects all of us.

Long Island Moving Ahead With Aggressive Legislation To Help Veterans Impacted By Coronavirus Pandemic
EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — With Veterans Day coming this week, there has been more outreach to help those service men and women struggling with mental health issues, food insecurity and more. Some Long Island legislators hope to pass new veterans assistance laws during the coronavirus pandemic, CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported Monday. Marine Corps veteran Steven Rose of East Meadow relies on his black Labrador service dog, Hook, to help him through the emotional turmoil of the pandemic after losing so many veterans to COVID-19. “You get up and you go to sleep and in between try to make some sense out of what you’re doing,” Rose said.

NYPD Officer Facing Federal Charges Of Conspiring To Import And Distribute Cocaine
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An NYPD officer has been arrested and accused of conspiring to import and distribute cocaine. Officer Amaury Abreu was supposed to be upholding the law while he worked at the 113th Precinct, but instead federal prosecutors say he was breaking it by allegedly helping a multinational drug operation import and distribute cocaine in New York, CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez reported Monday. The feds say from January 2016 until October this year, 34-year-old Abreu, of Hauppauge , used his policing expertise to help a multinational drug ring stay one step ahead of the law. MORE : NYPD Officer Arrested, Charged For Alleged Chokehold Arrest On Rockaway Boardwalk While other alleged members of the operation distributed the cocaine after it arrived in New York, Abreu, while assigned to the 113th Precinct in Queens, allegedly provided them with law enforcement intel, including a head’s up on warrant checks involving members of the group. Prosecutors say he was in regular contact with high-ranking members of the unidentified drug organization, even traveling to the Dominican Republic to meet with them.

Added NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea , “There is no place for corruption in the NYPD and it will always be prosecuted fully.” Abreu, a nine-year veteran of the force, was arrested at his home on Monday morning and arraigned in the afternoon. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. Three of his alleged co-conspirators are also under arrest.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Two newborn baby boys were found dead in the Bronx on Monday. It was a tragic and hectic scene in the Claremont section of the borough. CBS2’s Ali Bauman has learned police are speaking to multiple people at the scene, trying to piece together how the babies died and who their parents are. Sources told CBS2 the building’s superintendent found the babies wrapped in brown paper outside behind the building. Emergency responders were then called at around 2 p.m. to an apartment building on College Avenue and East 171st Street. When they arrived police found the two newborn boys unconscious and abandoned in an outdoor common area in the back of the building, which is just beside Claremont Park. An ambulance took them to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. “This is very, very early on in our investigation. We’re asking the public for help. If you can, if you know something, can you please call 1-800 577-TIPS with any information you have. It would really help the investigation here,” an NYPD spokesman said. Police said it’s unclear if the babies are related. Officers were canvassing the area for surveillance video to see if they can identify the two boys and find out what exactly happened to them.
