  1. Corner of North & Pelham Road
    When I saw tv cameras filming the intersection of North & Pelham Road on Tuesday morning, I thought that the JN was picking up the crossing guard story. Where, all year, New Rochelle has been paying crossing guards at 18 intersections throughout the city to work a 2 hour lunch shift. Kindergarten has gone on to a full day schedule this year. Students do not leave school at lunch. There are no kids to cross.

    Instead, the cameramen were filming for the recent stabbing incident reported in today’s JN.

    North Avenue: Police are investigating a fight shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday in which both men were stabbed, suffering minor injuries. Police charged Faustino A. Vazquez-Gabriel, 26, of 25 Prospect St., New Rochelle, with second-degree felony assault later that morning. Both he and the other man wounded in the fight were treated at Sound Shore Medical Center and released.

    I can’t see how if you are “stabbed” it would only be “minor injuries”. Also, after being charged with felony assault, is it unusual to be “released”?
