A pair of “person vs. car” traffic accidents on the UWS over the weekend left a pizza delivery man seriously injured and a 75-year-old pedestrian dead. The fatality is being treated as a hit-and-run and police are searching for a suspect.

Posted yesterday that a man was found stabbed to death inside a hotel near Broadway & West 93rd on Friday afternoon. That news reminded me that DNAinfo recently ran a brief profile on Bernardo Paulino, the man accused of second-degree murder at the Camden Resident Hotel (205 W. 95th) on 7/20.

A man was found stabbed to death inside a hotel near Broadway & West 93rd on Friday afternoon. This comes exactly one week after a stabbing death at an SRO/transitional living facility on West 95th.

UPDATE 7/23: UWS Stabbing Update: Victim Confirmed Dead, Attacker Charged With Second-Degree Murder The DNAinfo post cited below originally listed the victim in “critical condition.” The article was changed later in the day after this MUW post went up to indicate the victim had died. I’m keeping this post “as is” — for the latest [...]

UPDATE: Tweets from @NYScanner and @NYCityAlerts confirm stabbing. Police apparently have the suspect in custody. There’s reference to “a crime scene being established,” but no confirmation on the victim’s condition. UPDATE: 206 W. 95th appears to be the “Camden Resident Hotel” — multiple sources list it as an SRO. Per a comment on Yelp, it [...]

The body of an unidentified male thought to be in his 30s was discovered early yesterday morning in Riverside Park South.

I’ve been traveling since last week and am catching up on news, so you may have heard about this already. A 63-year-old man was struck and killed by a downtown 2 train at the 72nd Street subway station early Sunday morning.

Posted yesterday that one of the two people hit by a subway on the Upper West Side on Wednesday was ruled as a suicide. That has now been reclassified as “an accident.”

Following-up on yesterday’s post about two separate incidents of individuals being struck by an uptown train at the 72nd Street 1/2/3 station. One was a suicide by a 62-year-old man, while the other was a 33-year-old male who fell on the tracks and may have been drunk, disoriented, or unstable. He is listed in stable [...]

More sad neighborhood news on the heels of this morning’s post. A construction worker at The Church Of St. Paul The Apostle (Columbus & 60th) fell to his death on Thursday. He had been working in an “attic-like space” 125 feet above the cathedral floor.

Sad and scary way to start off the week, but frequent MUW contributor Noah snapped a shot of this macabre scene at West End and 71st earlier this morning. UPDATE 11:33 am: Bystander reports “he was on his way to work then dropped dead of a heart attack.”

Sad news coming out of today’s NYC Triathlon, which took place mostly on the Upper West Side. A 64-year-old man taking part in the competition suffered an apparent heart attack during the swim portion of the race in the Hudson River. Another participant, a 40-year-old woman, experienced undisclosed health problems, also during the 1.5K swim [...]
