Here are some stories making
headline across the Hudson Valley.
A man is recovering this morning after a stabbing in Greenburgh this
past weekend. Police say it happened at the BP gas station on Aqueduct Road
around 1 a.m. on Sunday morning. Police say
he was attacked by a group of people and stabbed in the head. The attackers
then took off in a blue Mazda 3 and a gray Toyota sedan before officers
arrived. No arrests have been made.
Good Samaritans sprang into action to protect a special needs man at the
Cortlandt Town Center. News 12 is told they called 911 and pointed the attacker
out to officers. Police say 64-year-old Jean Donatien, an employee of Opengate,
slapped and knocked the victim's head into a van window. He now faces a felony
charge.
An Orange County Sheriff's Office deputy has been named New York's
deputy of the year. Investigator John O'Brien was
honored by the New York State Sheriff's Association for his quick-thinking
actions that helped save an officer's life. O'Brien, who was working with the U.S. Marshal
Service Regional Task Force at the time, was assigned to apprehend a suspect
wanted in connection with the shooting of a Massachusetts state trooper.
During the operation, two
officers were shot. That's when O'Brien jumped into action, administering first
aid to one officer and ultimately helping save
his life.
