Police say officers shot a man with a knife on Grand Concourse Sunday morning.

NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell says&nbsp;officers responded to a 911 call of an emotionally disturbed person with a knife around 10 a.m. at 2685 Grand Concourse.

The caller was the father of the man, who he said was having a medical episode. The father said his son threatened to kill officers.

When police arrived at the scene, they were met by the father. Then his son approached them with a knife.

The NYPD says the officers told the man to drop the knife, but he did not comply. This was when the officers shot the suspect.

The officers then called for an ambulance and the son was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Chell said at a&nbsp;news&nbsp;conference that the incident was captured on the officers’ body cameras and the video will be reviewed.

A dog found abandoned inside a garbage bag in Brooklyn is beginning to recover at Angels for Mistreated Animals in Gravesend.  

Nanook arrived at <a href="https://amaanimalrescue.org">AMA</a> two weeks ago in very poor condition. In addition to being extremely underweight and dehydrated, she also had infected pressure wounds on her leg that made it impossible to walk.

Nanook is now in a foster home, receiving daily physical therapy and medication to help her walk again.  

Doctors say it will take her several months to fully recover.  

<a href="https://amaanimalrescue.org/donate/">AMA</a> says there are people already interested in adopting Nanook and giving her a forever home.

Macy's is celebrating the season of spring by kicking off its 48th annual Flower Show in Herald Square. 

The main floor of the flagship store was transformed into a floral escape that will be blooming for the next two weeks. 

New Yorkers and tourists are invited to explore the thousands of plants, flowers and trees that have taken root in the store.

Attendees told News 12 that the flower arrangements are a beautiful sight after a long winter spent indoors.  

"It is a tradition that every New Yorker should just come and see. If you're a tourist, you'll just love the colors and go shopping while you're at it,” said one city resident.  

The show is free to the public starting today to April 10.

Throgs Neck residents are rallying against the upcoming closure of Ice House Café. 

The owners say they were given a notice from the New York City Parks Department saying they must close by April 1, the day the licensing agreement for the property expires. 

The owners tell News 12 their proposal to keep renting at the Hammond’s Cove Marina was passed over for a higher bidder. 

Although the new agreement requires a restaurant to occupy the space, the surrounding community says they want Ice House Café to stay. 

Protesters rallied outside the property in the hopes of saving the beloved Bronx restaurant. Natasha Dambinskas, who grew up helping out in the Ice House Café kitchen, was at the rally.  

"It wasn’t always a restaurant, it started out with burgers, hot dogs and we would just make them ourselves,” she said. “Over the years, my family built this restaurant from the ground up." 

People at the rally say the news about the upcoming closure has devastated many members of the community.  

"This is unfair. They were given nothing but a few weeks to move out and take all their stuff out of their restaurant. This isn't fair to them and the community. We want them here,” said one rallygoer. 

"We love this place, the food is amazing, the staff is wonderful, the owner is wonderful. It’s a real asset to the community,” said another protester.

The actor Jonathan Majors was arrested Saturday in New York on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment, authorities said.

The NYPD said that Majors, star of the recently released "Creed III" and "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania," was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman. Police responded around 11 a.m. to a 911 call inside an apartment in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea.

"The victim informed police she was assaulted," a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement. "Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition."

He was no longer in police custody as of Saturday night, the NYPD spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press.

A representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor.

"He has done nothing wrong," the representative said in an email to the AP on Saturday. "We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up."

Majors is one of the fastest rising stars in Hollywood. After breaking through in 2019's "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," Majors has starred in "Da 5 Bloods," "The Harder They Fall" and last year's "Devotion." He also stars in the recent Sundance Film Festival entry "Magazine Dreams," which Searchlight Pictures is to release in December.

The FDNY responded overnight to a fire at a high-rise in East Flatbush. 

Fire trucks were parked outside the building on Albany Avenue early Sunday morning. 

The FDNY says the fire started in the compactor of the 14-story building. 

Emergency vehicles lined Albany Avenue as fire crews rushed inside. Witnesses say smoke could be seen coming from under the building.  

"The smoke was coming in real heavy. As soon as I woke my daughter up and my wife, I looked back and the whole doorway to the kitchen was filled with smoke,” said a tenant.  

News 12 was told at least three people were hurt and sent to the hospital. 

There is no word yet on their condition or the cause of the fire.

A Tremont business owner is searching for answers after a car crashed into his storefront and drove away, leaving behind several thousands of dollars' worth of damages.

Germain Tandoh, the owner and CEO of the shipping service center Global Mails, says he arrived to work Wednesday morning only to discover damages to his building on East Tremont Avenue.

"When I come to open the shop, I come in here, I saw the store, the front of the store damaged," Tandoh recalls. "That's when I realized maybe something happened, so I called the police."

Surveillance video shows a red SUV drive up the sidewalk and crash into his store around 5 a.m. Wednesday. The vehicle then drives away down East Tremont Avenue.

Tandoh says what he found even more shocking was that police stopped the same red SUV minutes before the crash.

"I'm trying to understand the reason why that car was allowed to move. We don't know what conversation went on between the police and the driver," he says.

While Tandoh waits for police to complete their investigation, he says he was left with more than $10,000 worth of damages.

"It came from my own pocket. I have to do what I have to do," Tandoh says.

Global Mails is the only UPS shipping center in the neighborhood.

"Most of the customers depend on us. We have pharmacy shops dropping off medications for patients and we have a lot of customers picking up packages from here," Tandoh says.

Tandoh says while it is disappointing, he is glad no one was hurt.

"I'm just praying that the right thing will be done, because he or she, to have done this, we don't know what could have happened if someone was working," Tandoh adds.

The 17th installment of the Black Men’s Brunch took place at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn Saturday to bring together Black men and women of New York City, while patronizing minority-owned establishments.

Built from an idea that Mayor Eric Adams had over a decade ago, the event brings together the men of New York City to work on meaningful agendas.

“It's about bringing men and women together, especially the men…to have brunch, and to…have a real conversation about our issues and our solutions,” says Andre T. Mitchell, the New York City gun violence prevention czar.

Everyone at the event exemplified what it means to be a successful Black entrepreneur and leader.

“It makes me feel good as a Black man to help give back to the community, to support and patronize one another,” says Christopher Webb, an associate real estate broker.

Through this event, ran by 500 Men Making a Difference, over $50,000 has been spent at local businesses, while providing mentorship, internships and jobs for over 300 young men in the city.

For the first time in this brunch's history, Dr. Loida Lewis was honored with the Pioneer Award for its Women's History Month tribute.

“It feels good because she's going to pave the way for the rest of us, into absolute greatness,” says entrepreneur Arkell Cox.

Amongst the impressive leaders there was News 12’s Phil Tait, showing what it means to be a trailblazer for Black men and women in New York City.

Pelham Parkway residents are urging the Department of Transportation to abandon its plan to start charging quarterly for one of the only free parking lots in the neighborhood. 

The department says the fee would be $290 per quarter, which would come to over $1,000 a year. 

Pelham Parkway residents rallied through the parking lot Saturday in hopes to save it from this plan. 

Some neighbors say they are already struggling with rent and adding this quarterly expense would only add to their issues, especially since the Bronx is a parking desert.

Residents told News 12 that this free parking lot has helped a lot, although there are only 74 spaces, which is not enough for the number of residents. They say adding the permit fee will only make things worse. 

"I'm like a prisoner in my own home…If I go out at night, I have to pay and park in the lot over there because there's no parking,” says resident Joan Marie Veltri. “Even when I come home from work early in the day, I'm circling and circling. It can be even an hour."

Residents told News 12 they will continue to fight for free parking in their neighborhood until their voices are heard.

News 12 reached out the Department of Transportation but has not heard back yet.

The DOT says the fee would be $290 per quarter, which would come to over $1,000 a year.

Met Council, America's
largest&nbsp;Jewish&nbsp;charity
dedicated to fighting&nbsp;poverty, hosted
a Passover food distribution at Brooklyn Navy Yard&nbsp;on Sunday, where
they&nbsp;provided food to over 2,000 Jewish families for their sedars. It’s
one of nation’s largest kosher-for-Passover distribution sites in the city. 

A traditional Passover seder
is a ritual meal at the beginning of the holiday. However, as inflation
increases, food has become extremely
expensive. 

"Think of it like Thanksgiving,
except its eight days of Thanksgiving and that sort of explains why
it's so expensive," says CEO of Met Council and Jewish Poverty
David Greenfield.

The group received over $10 million donations worth of food. There were
seven tractor-trailers
filled with produce, 200 cases of
chicken, 2,000 cases of grape juice and over 41,000 dozens of eggs. 

Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer says these donations will enable poor families to celebrate a
tradition that’s been with the Jewish people for thousands of years.

&nbsp;"One of the great traditions in
our Jewish tradition is called tzedakah,
charity. And one of the best things in charity you
can do is make sure people are able to obey they traditions like having a seder,"
says Sen. Schumer.

A group of Ukrainian artists are using their skills and talents to shed light on the on-going war in their native homeland.

Some of their works are on display right now at a gallery in DUMBO where their mission is not to just showcase what is happening, but to also help them out.

Artworks like pottery and photographs on display tell visitors the story of Ukrainians displaced by the war.

Nadiia Shapoval and Sasha Lytvyn are some of those artists who are telling that story and their works are being featured at the gallery called "Dodomu" at Hudson Wilder. Dodomu, means "home" in Ukrainian.

"How could I leverage and utilize the space that we have, and the brand that we have, to really serve as a platform to be able to bring to light, and bring people together on what's going on in Ukraine?" says Conway Liao, founder and owner of Hudson Wilder. So Liao got to work in January and contacted Shapoval and everything came to place.

Shapoval made the potteries while her partner painted them.

Lytvyn took his camera to Poland and profiled four families who took in displaced Ukrainians.

"They showed their care and devotion of their time and just the simply kindness they had to each other," Lytvyn says.

Visitors to the gallery can take a look at some of the artwork and browse around. They also have a chance to purchase some of the artworks. When they do, all of those proceeds will go to <a href="https://www.metalab.space/co-haty-ukr">Co-Haty</a>, an organization that is helping displaced Ukrainians.

Artists say Co-Haty has housed over 400 people in four locations so far.

Art lovers will have until Sunday afternoon to see the gallery, either at Hudson Wilder or at Skylight at Essex Crossing in Manhattan.

Artists say the gallery will continue online so art lovers will still be able to support their mission.

Powerful tornadoes tore through the Deep South on Friday night, killing at least 23 people in Mississippi, obliterating dozens of buildings and leaving an especially devastating mark in a rural town whose mayor declared, “My city is gone.”

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said in a Twitter post that search and rescue teams from local and state agencies were deployed to help victims impacted by the tornadoes. The agency confirmed early Saturday that 23 people had died, four were missing and dozens were injured. 

A few minutes later, the agency warned the casualty toll could go higher, tweeting: “Unfortunately, these numbers are expected to change.”

The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado caused damage about 60 miles (96 kilometers) northeast of Jackson, Mississippi. The rural towns of Silver City and Rolling Fork reported destruction as the tornado swept northeast at 70 mph (113 kph) without weakening, racing towards Alabama through towns, including Winona and Amory, into the night.

Rolling Fork Mayor Eldridge Walker told CNN that his town was essentially wiped out.

“My city is gone. But we are resilient and we are going to come back strong,” he said.

The National Weather Service issued an alert Friday night as the storm was hitting that didn't mince words: "To protect your life, TAKE COVER NOW!" 

“You are in a life-threatening situation,” it warned. "Flying debris may be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Considerable damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles is likely and complete destruction is possible." 

Cornel Knight told The Associated Press that he, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter were at a relative’s home in Rolling Fork when the tornado struck. He said the sky was dark but “you could see the direction from every transformer that blew.”

He said it was “eerily quiet” as that happened. Knight said he watched from a doorway until the tornado was, he estimated, less than a mile away. Then he told everyone in the house to take cover in a hallway. He said the tornado struck another relative’s home across a wide corn field from where he was. A wall in that home collapsed and trapped several people inside. As Knight spoke to AP by phone, he said he could see lights from emergency vehicles at the partially collapsed home.

The tornado looked so powerful on radar as it neared the town of Amory, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of Tupelo, that one Mississippi meteorologist paused to say a prayer after new radar information came in. 

“Oh man,” WTVA’s Matt Laubhan said on the live broadcast. “Dear Jesus, please help them. Amen.”

The damage in Rolling Fork was so widespread that several storm chasers - who follow severe weather and often put up livestreams showing dramatic funnel clouds - pleaded for search and rescue help. Others abandoned the chase to drive injured people to the hospitals themselves.

The Sharkey-Issaquena Community Hospital on the west side of Rolling Fork was damaged, WAPT reported.

The Sharkey County Sheriff’s Office in Rolling Fork reported gas leaks and people trapped in piles of rubble, according to the Vicksburg News. Some law enforcement units were unaccounted for in Sharkey, according to the the newspaper.

According to poweroutage.us, 40,000 customers were without power in Tennessee; 15,000 customers were left without power in Mississippi; and 20,000 were without power in Alabama.

Rolling Fork and the surrounding area has wide expanses of cotton, corn and soybean fields and catfish farming ponds. More than a half-dozen shelters were opened in the state by emergency officials.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a Twitter post Friday night that search and rescue teams were active and that officials were sending in more ambulances and emergency assets. 

“Many in the MS Delta need your prayer and God’s protection tonight,” the post said. “Watch weather reports and stay cautious through the night, Mississippi!”

This was a supercell, the nasty type of storm that brews the deadliest tornado and most damaging hail in the United States, said University of Northern Illinois University meteorology professor Walker Ashley. What’s more, this was a nighttime one which is “the worst kind,” he said.

Meteorologists saw a big tornado risk coming for the general region, not the specific area, as much as a week in advance, said Ashley, who was discussing it with his colleagues as early as March 17. The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center put out a long-range alert for the area on March 19, he said.

Tornado experts like Ashley have been warning about increased risk exposure in the region because of people building more.

“You mix a particularly socioeconomically vulnerable landscape with a fast-moving, long-track nocturnal tornado, and, disaster will happen,” Ashley said in an email.

Earlier Friday, torrential rainfall in Missouri caused flooding that was blamed for the deaths of two people who were in a car that was swept away by high water. Another person was missing in another Missouri county hit by flash floods.

The rural towns of Silver City and Rolling Fork have reported severe destruction as the tornado swept northeast at 70 mph without weakening.

A Bronx man was arrested in connection to the <a href="https://bronx.news12.com/police-looking-for-answers-in-death-of-woman-found-in-bronx-apartment">death of Lissette Gomez, who was found&nbsp;inside&nbsp;her apartment on Wednesday.</a>

Police are still investigating the cause of her death, and family members of Gomez believe that it was a case of domestic violence. &nbsp;

News 12 spoke with an organization&nbsp;that&nbsp;supports victims of gender-based violence.&nbsp;Voces Latinas, a nonprofit that aids victims of domestic violence, says situations like these are not uncommon. On average, Voces Latinas says they have 25 to 40 referrals of domestic abuse&nbsp;monthly.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gomez’s sister said that every time police were called to Gomez’s apartment, she would not pursue charges – something advocates say is all too common. &nbsp;

“People may stay in abusive relationships due to fear, either because they’re being constantly threatened with suicide or receiving threats to harm their children,” said Farima Cabrera, mental health provider for Voces Latinas. &nbsp;

A memorial now sits outside of the entrance to Gomez’s apartment. &nbsp;

According to the NYPD domestic violence report, there were nearly 24,000 incidents reported in 2021.&nbsp;

Police are still investigating the cause of Lissette Gomez's death, but family members believe that it was a case of domestic violence.

A Bronx philanthropist, community leader and basketball coach is a finalist for the Junior Knicks Coach of the Year. &nbsp;

Shakir Seagers is excited and appreciative to be nominated and considered, but says that the $20,000 prize for winning the award would help him to bring more resources to his community. &nbsp;

Many refer to him as Coach Chips, and Seagers’ magnetic personality is loved by all. The only thing outmatching his charisma is his commitment to the community in Kingsbridge. &nbsp;

“We were trying to bring colorful courts back to Kingsbridge, and now it just led into doing more things… programs for the kids, a basketball team for the kids, recreational program for the kids," said Seagers.&nbsp;

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Seagers took a step back from his music career which had taken him across the United States. He returned to his home community and started the Rising Kings AAU basketball team through a grant from Gatorade. &nbsp;

“We’re not looking for the best players to put on the floor, we’re looking for the smartest players, the student-athletes, the loyal players, the kids that want to learn and got the heart,” said Seagers. &nbsp;

Seagers works just as hard off the court, helping guide the youth by giving back and helping to fight food insecurity. &nbsp;

“With no resources or any support, Shakir reaches out and he gets donations, and he does food distributions,” said Council Member Pierina Sanchez. “He has activities for the young people.”&nbsp;

Seagers says that while home is where his heart is, this is just the beginning of his impact. &nbsp;

“I’m trying to migrate this thing state to state, not just the Bronx,” said Seagers. “Just to make sure every kid has a chance.”&nbsp;

The Junior Knicks Coach of the Year award will be announced in the first week of April.

Nominee Shakir Seagers works just as hard on the court as he does off the court, helping guide the youth by giving back and helping to fight food insecurity.

A fire in East New York Friday injured seven people, according to the FDNY. &nbsp;

The fire&nbsp;broke out just before 11:30 a.m.

Fire officials say one firefighter and six civilians suffered injuries in the fire and are all expected to be OK. &nbsp;

A unique housing development is on its way to the Claremont park neighborhood to provide Bronx families with more affordable housing options.

Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson joined representatives to present a capital grant check of $500,000 for the Claremont House, an eight-story residential development offering 66 affordable homes.

The project is a partnership between the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Camber Property Group, Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County along with other organizations that will provide homeownership education and resources for first-time home buyers whose applications have been denied.

The Uniform Land Use Review Procedure is set to begin in June, and Gibson tells News 12 that investing in the community is a key factor in making sure minority communities can push forward.
