If you spot anyone standing on the ledge of a building today—and it's not a statue—take a second look before alterting the authorities. NotifyNYC notes that today "there will be a filming of a movie which will involve a stuntman standing on the ledge of a building at 80 South Street between Fletcher and John Streets in Manhattan. This is a simulated activity and will be filmed until 4pm. NYPD will be on site." more ›

[UPDATE: GRAPHIC PHOTO BELOW] As a Bensonhurst neighborhood still reels from a fire that killed five and forced one woman to throw her two children from a third-story window, there was a somewhat happier ending to a blaze in Harlem yesterday. Around 4 p.m., several people were trapped on the fifth floor of a five-story brownstone on 127th Street and Madison Avenue. The FDNY arrived at 4:21, and Deputy Chief Jim Hodgens tells the Daily News, "There were two people hanging from window ledges. They were ready to jump." more ›

More details were revealed today about Rodulfo Jones, the man who stood on a ledge for 13 hours after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend. Jones, an off-duty NYPD traffic agent, was saying that he was "a demon" and wept as police tried to talk him down. By the time he was finally ready to leave the ledge, he talked about how out of character this was and continually asked about his girlfriend's condition. The only thing covering him, his boxer shorts, were stained with the blood of girlfriend Carmen Valez, who remains in critical condition. A police source tells the NY Post that the cops involved were making sure "to have to come in on his own" after the September incident with Iman Morales. "He was definitely thinking about jumping, but we talked that out of him," one of the officers on the scene told the paper. more ›
