The police released a photograph of the driver suspected of slashing a teen who put his bookbag on a BMW in the Bronx. Gabriel Quinones (pictured) remains in the hospital after being slashed on the face and neck; his lung was also punctured. The 16-year-old told the Daily News that he was just "leaning" on Kwame Ferguson's BMW, "I apologized, and he started cursing... I thought he was punching me, and I punched him back. I did not know I had been cut until my friend said, 'Oh, my God - you're bleeding!'" After a witness provided the license number for the BMW, police tracked down Ferguson, who told the police he would turn himself in later. Perhaps not that shockingly, Ferguson never did and the police are now asking for the public's help in finding him. UPDATE: Ferguson was arrested in Brooklyn today. more ›

A tenth grader is in critical condition after a driver slashed him in the Bronx yesterday. The Daily News reports, "Gabriel Quinones was at a Throgs Neck bus stop on his way to school when he plunked his bag on the hood of a gray BMW parked on Hutchinson River Parkway East." The driver freaked out and yelled at Quinones, who talked back. Then "the driver pulled a knife and stabbed him once in the chest and slashed him five to six times on the face and neck." A witness gave the police the driver's license plate number, which led them to Kwame Ferguson of the Bronx; Ferguson said he would turn himself in. The police source told the News, "To do this to a kid, over something so minor - the kid is lucky to be alive." more ›
