NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are looking for man who they said exposed himself to a young mother and her 6-month-old daughter on a Manhattan subway train. The incident occurred Friday on a northbound D train near 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue. The 21-year-old woman took her daughter and tried to get away from the man after he exposed himself, police said. The woman and her daughter moved to a different spot on the train, but police said the suspect followed them. He tried to look up the woman’s skirt while making several comments about how beautiful the child was and kept asking for the little girl’s name, police said. The woman was able to take a picture of the suspect before getting off the train. Police said they are also looking for another man in connection with a separate incident that occurred on the subway on Sept. 10. In that case, a 34-year-old woman took a picture of a man “performing a lewd act” on a northbound No. 1 train near Seventh Avenue and West 42nd Street, police said. Police said a woman took a picture of this man who was allegedly “performing a lewd act” on the 1 train. (credit: NYPD) Police have released pictures of both suspects.

NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — If you long for designer duds, but don’t want to pay designer prices we’ve got good news for you. Goodwill is going high-end, and opening upscale boutiques carrying the likes of Prada, Burberry, Gucci, and more. At first glance the store looks like any other 5th Ave fashion boutique, with exposed brick walls, trendy mannequins, and funky displays. “I started looking at the prices and the labels and I just, I just couldn’t believe it,” Holly Valdez said. Valdez couldn’t believe it because she was shopping at Goodwill, but not just any Goodwill, Valdez was at their new boutique, one of 60 upscale and modernized locations popping up nationwide. The 48,000-SqFt boutique, just south of Union Square on 14th Street opened on Thursday to coincide with fashion week. Shoppers quickly found that these weren’t your typical thrift store deals, with designer goods like Marc Jacob shoes going for just $24. “It’s not your typical Goodwill because we deliberately made it not your typical Goodwill,” Frank Talarico said. Talarico said the shift in the popular thrift shop was made to compete with higher end consignment stores, but like the regular Goodwill stores all the items are donated. “We found really good stuff, brand names you’d recognize in most any other store, but you get it here at a great price and really great value, and give back to people who really need the service that we provide them,” Talarico said. If there was any thrift store stigma still in existence you wouldn’t know it at the new stores. Leticia Leario drove 40 minutes to visit one of the nonprofit’s newest boutiques. “You don’t even have to dig, you just have to know what you want and kind of just go through the rack,” she said. Shoppers said knowing that 92 cents of every dollar spent goes back to Goodwill’s programs like employment services for people with disabilities, and issues like substance abuse, is just another incentive for them to spend. Another high end Goodwill Boutique can be found on West 72nd Street.

NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) — It has been 9 weeks since the devastating limo crash in Long Island’s wine country claimed four lives. Four others were seriously injured and are now out of the hospital. The deadly case was back in court before a Southold judge, accused DWI pickup truck driver Steven Romeo was conspicuous by his absence. “Case was adjourned until October 16, that is the new date,” Romeo’s attorney Daniel O’Brien said. Romeo has claimed he was not speeding, distracted, or drunk and did not cause the crash when his red pickup broadsided the limousine that u-turned in front of him. Four innocent lives were lost, and four others were critically injured. Prosecutors suggested Romeo could face more serious charges. His blood alcohol reading was found to be .06 just under the .08 legal threshold of DWI, it was taken an hour and forty minutes after the crash. Romeo was not at his Marine services shop on Friday, the scene of a fatal forklift incident last year, when Romeo accidentally dropped a bucket on his employee. Colin Volinsky said he quit just days before the boatyard death. “Thank god I did leave when I did, that would have been me, he had only one other working for him besides me,” he said. At least four of the eight families have filed intent to sue Romeo, and the limo driver while accusing the town and county of “negligence, carelessness, and recklessness” for failing to keep the road safe through wine country, and allowing stretch limousines to make u-turns at the Route 48 intersection that only had a blinking light. As CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported, the National Transportation Safety Board will now probe limo crashes. “We all saw and agonized over the horrible tragedy of four beautiful women in the prime of their lives, in the accident involving a stretch limo, and what we learned amazingly is stretch limos have no safety standards,” Senator Charles Schumer said. Residents in wine country urged mandatory side impact air bags, rollover bars, multiple exits, and limits on the weight and number of people each modified stretch limousine can carry. The limo driver, 58-year-old Carlos Pino of Bethpage has not been criminally charged.
