NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are on the prowl for a man accused of stealing people’s jewelry on the subway. The suspect allegedly struck four times between Oct. 16 and Nov. 3. Police said in the first incident, the suspect approached a 39-year-old man and 36-year-old woman aboard a northbound Q train at Union Square and demanded the woman’s engagement ring. He made off with the ring, valued at $7,000. Less than a week later, police said the suspect grabbed a 31-year-old woman’s arm aboard a southbound F train at the West 8th Street-New York Aquarium station. He allegedly simulated he had a gun in his pants, and stole her ring, worth $95. MORE FROM CBS NEW YORK Feeling Stressed While Waiting For Election Results?

Then on Tuesday, police said the suspect was armed with a gun when he approached a 32-year-old man and woman aboard a Brooklyn-bound N train headed to the 36th Street station and told them to place their rings on the seat. He allegedly got away with rings valued at $3,000. No one was hurt in any of the incidents. Police released surveillance images of the suspect taken after the Oct. 23 crime.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It was another night of post-election protests in New York City. Hundreds of people marched in Manhattan Thursday night. Some clashed with police, resulting in nearly 20 arrests, but authorities believe outside agitators again played a role in turning the demonstrations violent.

Police: Man Wanted For Snatching Gold Chains From Bronx Jewelry Store
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The outcome of the presidential election is still up in the air, and the unknown is really doing a number on some people. Many Americans are feeling a lot of anxiety as the final votes are counted. CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez went searching for ways to help bring peace to frazzled minds. Harry Schwartz says he didn’t get much sleep last night. “How are you feeling today?” Sanchez asked. “Very uneasy. Yes, uneasy and distressed,” he said. More Election 2020 Coverage : General Election Results New York Results New Jersey Results Complete Coverage He’s definitely not alone. Anxious voters have been glued to their phones, or any news source, awaiting the results of the presidential race. Schwartz decided to get some fresh air to clear his head. “We should go for a walk. Beautiful day for not knowing where things are going to go,” he said. One yoga instructor says channeling anxiety into movement can also help center your mind and body. (Credit: CBS2) Staying active is a great idea, says psychiatrist Dr. Deborah Marin. Bottled up anxiety can make you mentally and physically ill. She says don’t isolate; stay connected with the people you care about. You don’t have to turn off social media or the news, just take breaks to quiet your mind. “It’s just dosing yourself with a lot of anxiety. It’s like looking at the Twin Towers coming down again and again and again. It’s not helpful,” Marin said. Yoga instructor Aliza Stone Howard says channeling anxiety into movement can also help center your mind and body. “Moving in a very mindful way, where you’re forging a connection between your breath and your body and your mental state, it’s really like a perfect remedy,” she said.

You did something. The votes mattered,” Marin said. Being able to find peace with what’s beyond your control is a win for personal growth.

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork ) — New Jersey may be close to ordering new restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. On Thursday, Gov. Phil Murphy warned he may be forced to take action, following a surge in cases and hospitalizations, CBS2’s Jessica Layton reported. The positivity rate has soared to over 7%. When it comes to new infections, the state hasn’t seen numbers like this in more than six months. In fact, University Hospital in Newark still has tents set up from screening in the early days of the pandemic. It says it is ready to use them again, if necessary. “Jessica, we have still at least five to 10 people being admitted a day with the disease,” Dr. Shereef Elnahal said. “We’re really on the cusp of getting to a bad place in our hospitals, which ends up being a risk to everybody.” Elnahal heads the hospital and said the number of beds needed for COVID-19 patients tripled in less than two weeks. In fact, Newark is considered one of New Jersey’s most concerning hot spots. The positivity rate is a whopping 12.3%. The city is in Essex County, which, along with Bergen and Passaic counties, each reported more than 200 new cases Thursday. “Do we want to be where we were in the spring? Do we want to have to see nonessential businesses close?” Elnahal said.

Expert: Parents Be Mindful Of Children’s Stress After Months Of Isolation Chopper 2 Over Empty NYC Streets, Landmarks Complete Coronavirus Coverage The Murphy administration has been sounding the alarm on the dramatic spike in the Garden State over the past several days. It’s a huge blow, considering not that long ago the state was priding itself on how it cracked the curve. The spike could lead to restrictions for already struggling businesses. “This virus has not taken a break and we cannot, either. Pandemic fatigue is a real threat to containing COVID-19,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli said. “How close are we to do something? Close, so bear with us. We will clearly be taking action. And I hope it will be action that balances all the various challenges and interests that we have,” Murphy said. Doctors have learned so much about treating people with COVID-19, so they say one bright spot is patients don’t seem to be getting as sick and their hospital stays have been shorter, on average three to four days versus a week or more back in the spring and summer.

HARTFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Connecticut residents were being urged Thursday to limit any nonessential trips between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus , a move that comes as the state starts rolling back portions of the third phase of reopening. The Department of Public Health issued the statewide advisory, which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on Friday. It applies to all residents except essential workers who need to leave home to get to their jobs during that time period and people who need to leave home for an emergency to seek medical care, purchase medical supplies, food or groceries.

Ned Lamont had originally said restaurants and certain attractions such as movie theaters would have to close by 9:30 p.m., with an exception for takeout and delivery of meals. But he said Thursday that restaurants will be allowed to stay open until 10 p.m. The Democrat said he understands that people will be frustrated by the changes, including the limits on private gatherings as the holiday season begins. “Look, it’s it’s a tough pill to swallow. I get it. We’ve talked about that before,” he said. “But do it now. Do it this Thanksgiving. Put up with this a little bit longer. We’re going to be much better off for the long term.” MORE : Connecticut Reimposes Some COVID Restrictions As Cases Rise As of Thursday, 68 cities and towns in Connecticut were in the red zone alert level, the highest of the state’s four alert levels. In other coronavirus news in Connecticut: YOUTH SPORTS RESTRICTIONS Lamont also announced new restrictions on scholastic and youth sports in Connecticut. The governor said the state will not allow athletic tournaments involving teams from outside Connecticut and is asking Connecticut teams not to travel to other states through the end of 2020. He said that prohibition will not apply to colleges or professional sports. He’s also prohibiting the playing of high-risk sports as defined by the National Federation of High School Sports through the end of the year. Those include 11-on-11 football, boys lacrosse, wrestling, competitive cheer, dance, boxing, rugby and martial arts. Medium-risk sports, such as basketball and hockey, will be allowed to continue as long as the athletes wear masks during competition. “We’re doing everything we can to keep you safe, because we’re not out of the woods yet,” he said.

Ben Zhao, a senior captain who played linebacker for Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, said he was happy to get to play at least four games with that town’s independent team. “Loved playing with my brothers and the last four years was just unbelievable,” he wrote in a text message to The Associated Press. “Greatest experience of my life and I hope the governor understands what he is taking away, not just a sport but a family.” RAPID TESTING PROGRAM Health and education officials have launched a pilot program in Middletown that will use new rapid tests in an attempt to identify and contain any coronavirus outbreaks in schools. Under the program that was announced Thursday, students, teachers or other staff showing COVID-19 symptoms can get a test that promises to identify an infection within 15 minutes. Lamont said the idea is to contain any outbreak quickly and prevent schools from having to unnecessarily close classrooms or buildings. “If you have to just do the PCR test and it takes two days to get the results, that could really mean a big quarantine for a period of time,” he said.

They said any parent coming to pick up an ill student would also be given the option of taking a rapid test. Education officials said the pilot will give them an idea of best practices and any glitches before rolling out a similar program across the state. Connecticut has already deployed thousands of the new rapid COVID-19 tests to colleges and expects to receive about 1 million of them from the federal government. Officials said they also are recommending a regular PCR test for anyone who is experiencing flu-like symptoms but receives a negative result from the rapid test. That would give them confirmation of their test results within two or three days. Lamont also announced Thursday that he has approved spending $3.4 million in grants from the state’s Coronavirus Relief Fund, which uses federal coronavirus relief money, for use in homeless shelters and by people at risk of becoming homeless. The governor said the money will be used for things such as physical improvements to shelters, acquiring personal protective equipment for shelter workers and for homelessness prevention programs. “These grants will be used to ensure the supports are in place for those who are on the verge of becoming homeless and we can rapidly respond to the situations they are facing,” Lamont said. “Having a safe and secure place to call home is a critical component of responding to this public health crisis.” (© Copyright 2020 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

Connecticut Residents Urged To Stay At Home At Night As COVID-19 Cases Grow
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A hit-and-run in Brooklyn was caught on camera. The victim is in the hospital with serious injuries. CBS2’s Cory James spoke with the family, who said their loved one crawled from the street to the sidewalk while screaming for help. On video, a black car is seen speeding down a Brooklyn road near Nicholas Avenue and Etna Street in Cypress Hills . It suddenly starts reversing at full speed, hitting a man walking to his car before quickly taking off. “I heard the sound, like the crash,” Carmen De La Rosa said. The impact injured her 60-year-old 6-foot-8 husband, Walter Stone. De La Rosa said Stone was walking across the street to move their car at around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, when she heard him crying out for help. “He said, ‘Carmen!’ so I look and I saw him crawling and I came down running to pick him up, and called the ambulance,” De La Rosa said. Stone was rushed to a hospital with a bloody face covered with scratches and a broken leg.

I’ve been crying all day, bro. Now, it’s just anger,” Dante Stone said. The anger is also fueled by a constant problem that he said plagues the block. “I know how people speed. I know how the reversing goes on this, especially. They do this reversing stuff full speed and it’s just too much,” Dante Stone said. The NYPD is investigating the incident involving a reported black Infiniti, and as Stone’s son comforts his mom they are both hoping someone who has information about the driver will step up to help. “The back of the windshield was cracked off. The moment he fell on the floor the windshield came with him. So if anybody knows an Infiniti that’s missing back of their window please let somebody know. Let the police know,” De La Rosa said. Walter Stone is recovering at Jamaica Hospital. His family members said he had the first of two surgeries on his left leg, which was broken in two parts.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There were more arrests Thursday night at protests throughout the city. As CBS2’s Ali Bauman reported, there was a very heavy police presence throughout the night, and even though things began peacefully, it escalated quickly. As of this report, it was unclear what sparked the arrests, but police believe outside agitators are tactfully infiltrating peaceful demonstrations, with the intent of destruction. Protesters clashed with police by Houston Street in Lower Manhattan. Dozens of officers tried controlling the crowd of hundreds at a Black Lives Matter protest and took several people into custody.

NYPD Says Outside Agitators Again Infiltrate Peaceful Protests, More Arrests Made Thursday Night In Manhattan
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Two new COVID-19 clusters on Staten Island have the city bringing in extra resources to avoid a major outbreak. St. George Ferry Terminal is one of the places the city plans to add a new rapid testing site. The idea is you come in, get tested, and if you test positive, there will be contact tracers to walk you through next steps. It’s part of the city’s plan to tackle the spike in two zip codes in the borough — 10305 and 10314 in the Rosebank and Bull’s Head neighborhoods, respectively. “In this case, in your case, we’ve caught it early, and we will do everything in our power to deploy resources and join the fight with you by your side,” Dr. Ted Long, of NYC Health + Hospitals told CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis on Thursday. Long is the head of the city’s Test and Trace Corps, which is working in two zip codes that have surpassed a 3% positivity rate. WATCH: Mayor Bill De Blasio’s Daily Coronavirus Briefing “We see the kind of increase that makes us concerned, that needs that very hyperlocal approach that we used in Sunset Park, in Soundview, in southeast Queens successfully,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. The response includes: More than 70 Test and Trace Corps staff on the ground encouraging testing, masks and social distancing. 10 new testing sites A new rapid testing site at St. George Ferry Terminal next week. The mayor said what’s happening in Staten Island is more isolated than the recent outbreak in Brooklyn and Queens. “Not something that at this moment would trigger restrictions. That’s obviously the state’s decision. It is something that we think can be handled quickly with a lot of community involvement,” de Blasio said.

DeAngelis asked those who live and work in the borough what they think. “I guess people are not doing what they’re supposed to do, not wearing a mask,” one resident said. “My opinion is so-so. I don’t really think you have to wear masks unless you’re close to someone,” resident Blerona Osmani said. Upcoming hyperlocal test sites: Tappen Park – 11/6, 11/7, 11/8, 11/10 Central Family Life Center flu shot event – 11/10 St. George’s Ferry Terminal – 11/12 “Hopefully everybody will wear their masks and try to stay socially distant and we can bring it back down,” said Brett Weed, who works at Pratt Industries on Victory Boulevard. Along with the ferry terminal becoming a rapid test site next Thursday, the city is partnering with the neighboring outlets here to serve as a personal protective equipment (PPE) distribution site.
