- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a bank robbery and arrest on 1st Ave. in Manhattan, an unstable building report on President St. in Brooklyn, and a tall truck met a low overpass bridge on West 231st St. in the Bronx.
- NJ Governor John Corzine remains on a ventilator and is heavily sedated, a day after he was involved in a car accident that left him severely injured. The severity and extent of the Governor's injuries––that necessitated the infusion of seven pints of blood––appear more serious than initially reported.
- Mathieu Eugene remains in the race for a contested City Council seat in Brooklyn. A judge rejected a lawsuit asking for his removal from the ballot because he was never officially sworn in after he couldn't prove residency at the time of his special election.
- Cops and bar owners are continuing a discreet affair that involves quiet meetings and promises of improved behavior, by both parties.
- Curbed looks at a Brooklyn's bad case of the Demolition Measles, which is almost as bad as the rash of gentrification that's been plaguing the borough.
- The NYPD is leaving everyone mystified about how someone could be arrested for trespassing at a non-existent address.
- Worried relatives sent firefighters to check on an elderly relative who was proving unreachable. They searched, found, and then rescued her from a home filled with garbage. The Long Island woman was buried beneath three feet of trash.

Boy, NBC's article is all messed up. It's a man, it's a woman, he's dead, she's alive... they must be confused.
Big mystery. They wrote the wrong street (182nd instead of 184th as it should have been) on the paperwork. My god, even a police officer can make human errors in paperwork. What a travesty, a true civil rights violation! That idiot should be thanking them because that's the only reason the case was dismissed and he isn't pleading guilty to the charge instead.
