NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities say two robbery suspects have been arrested after a church van being chased by police crash into a NJ TRANSIT bus. Officials say the two suspects were being pursued following a crime spree involving three different vehicles, including the church van, in Newark. Police say two masked suspects had robbed two people at gunpoint within five minutes of each other in Newark around 11:30 p.m. Thursday. Police said a third robbery involving the church van happened around 1:15 a.m. Friday. Shortly after, Maplewood police spotted the van and chased the vehicle back into Newark. During the pursuit, a Maplewood patrol car crashed into another vehicle near the intersection of Colgate and Broom, but no one was seriously hurt. The Essex County Sheriff’s Department continued the pursuit. That’s when police said the van crashed into a NJ TRANSIT bus near Springfield Avenue and S. 17th Street in Newark. The bus and the van ended up on the property of the United House of Prayer For All People. “I came outside and I heard a boom and there were several passenger getting out of this van and the NJ TRANSIT bus,” neighbor Thomas Judd told CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis. “Newark police was on the scene very fast.” The driver and nine passengers on the bus were not seriously injured. Police said the two suspects were arrested and a weapon was also recovered at the scene. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

7/20 CBS2 Friday Morning Weather Headlines
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Cleanup is underway Friday after a massive steam pipe explosion in the Flatiron District. The high-pressure pipe burst without warning just before 7 a.m. Thursday on Fifth Avenue and 21st Street, ripping apart the pavement and sending plumes of white steam into the air. “A huge white plume of smoke emerging from somewhere underground,” said area employee Renee Lovett. “Sounded like someone hosing down our window,” said Daniela Caso. “It’s scary and unsettling.” Authorities testing the pipe, which was built in 1932, confirmed asbestos in the area. Nearly 50 buildings were evacuated and decontamination tents were set up for first responders and those who live and work in the area. “There’s going to be a thorough assessment to make sure all the buildings are clean and safe,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday. With bags in hand, some New Yorkers were forced out of their homes while other decided to get out of town. “We’re trying to leave for the weekend and get away from this mess,” said resident Staberos T. “I just got back. I feel a little scratchy in the throat,” said Erica Tarnoff. Barricades are now set up all over the area so getting in or out is no easy task as businesses remain closed until further notice. “If many of them have to be closed for multiple days, that’s a huge loss of business impacts,” said Jennifer Brown with the Flatiron 23rd Street partnership. Closures include the area between 23rd Street, Park Avenue South, 19th Street and Sixth Avenue. The M1, M2, M3 and M55 buses are also being detoured to Seventh Avenue.

(L) Man in La Puente asking for donations for a fake funeral using the photo of Gabriel Fernandez, the 8-year-old Palmdale boy who was tortured and killed by his mother and her boyfriend, July 19, 2018. (SOURCE: @sierranchavez/Twitter) LA PUENTE (CBSLA) — The family of a small boy who died at the hands of his parents due to abuse is outraged after images of a panhandler using his image to raise funds for a fake funeral emerged on social media. Several people posted photos of a man in La Puente asking for money for the funeral of Jose Mendoza, who supposedly died of leukemia. In reality, the photo was of Gabriel Fernandez , an 8-year-old Palmdale boy whose gruesome death made headlines five years ago. A witness who goes by “Mike” told CBS2 News he quickly figured out the man’s ruse. “I turned red, I was so — I wanted to scream at him and say something to him, but I didn’t want to get involved,” said Mike, who saw the man on the corner of Amar Road and Hacienda Boulevard Thursday afternoon. “I immediately saw his picture, and I’m like, ‘The guy has the nerve to use the picture that’s all over the Internet.’ So, yeah, it hurt, but then it kind of turned [into] a little bit of anger.” Mike took a photo of the man and shared it on Twitter. Another witness also shared a photo of the man, ending her tweet , “They know what they’re doing is wrong smh”. Mike agrees. “I’m a firm believer in karma, and I hope it comes back to him,” echoed Mike. Gabriel died in May 2013 after he was starved and beaten by his mother Pearl Sinthia Fernandez and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. During their trials for murder and torture, prosecutors revealed gruesome details of the boy’s abuse, which included getting handcuffed, being shot by a BB gun and getting pepper-sprayed. Fernandez was sentenced to life in prison, and Aguirre was given the death penalty earlier this year . Gabriel’s cousin told CBS2 she is outraged but has seen this type of scheme before in her neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. She had the following message for the persons perpetrating the lies: Gabriel suffered a lot during his lifetime. He was buried 5 years ago. Let him rest in peace. Panhandlers are allowed to ask for money as long they don’t accost the public or do it in specific areas like freeway off-ramps.
