Three people were injured when a cab driver somehow drove his SUV into one of the West 72nd Street subway entrances—after jumping the curb and driving through the wrought iron gates— yesterday afternoon. The injured included the driver, his passenger and a pedestrian. The police say no charges are going to be filed in the incident, but one witness told NY1, "The driver was sitting on the floor and he was asked if his breaks failed. And he said yes.

Yesterday, prosecutors dropped charges against Aleksander Vacaj, who was accused of hiring two men to slash his ex-girlfriend's face last year in Chinatown. The ex-girlfriend, Artende Gjeli, had been working at 123 Baxter Street when two men grabbed and slashed her. An off-duty NYPD detective had been on the scene and shot the attackers, killing one (pictured, the cut on the head that the detective received during the altercation).

Vacaj, who served two months in prison, said, "I never had anything to do with anything, and justice was done." more ›
