town and a hungary shark ruins a wedding anniversary for
a Connecticut couple. All right, let's get into it. At
five oh four, just this search for a little girl
in the Passaic River. There's a story we told you about.
(01:30):
This was on Wednesday night. Three kids two or ten,
one eleven years old sort of accidentally found themselves in
deep water in the Passaic River. They were playing on
a pier and probably did not realize that if they
stepped too far into this pier they would find themselves
no longer in shallow water, but incredibly deep water. At
(01:52):
least that's the thought of what happened. So the boy
and his sister they went into the water first, and
the boy was able to push his young sister who's
ten years old or eleven years old, back to shore.
She was able to walk out. He drowned. He was
found yesterday, and they were with a third friend who
is eleven years old. They have not found her yet,
(02:12):
so the search continues. Neighbors were watching on yesterday as
cruise searched the Passaic River in Passeic.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
She's she's this beautiful little girl. She's very energetic and
she just she's very creative, and she just like she's
a great, great girl.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
We're praying that they find her.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, and the mayor talking about this ramp that they're
probably gonna have to fix it.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Unfortunately, in the ramp when it's covered by water, he
gives a perception that is much longer than what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That is Mayor Hector Laura. Children on the opposite side
of the river. They saw what happened, immediately called nine
to one one.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One man desperately tried to rescue these kids. He ended
up in chest deep water. He said the current was
just too much. He had to get out of the water. Now,
this is a friend of the person who tried to
save these kids.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
He was trying to call it like to get out,
you know, to play in the water. He was fitted
bad those He was fine to say the kids, MA
can lose. You know, hadn't seen too much to someone
like you because at.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Too Yeah, Passaic Mayor Laura says, the family of the
boy who drowned is enduring immense grief. I mean, you
have to imagine. He noted that the children's mother and
siblings are also coping with the recent loss of their
children's father. Now Laura urging the community to focus on
supporting the family rather than assigning blame for what took
(03:29):
place on Wednesday night.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
We take them to the park, they run around, they place.
Sometimes you're talking to others, kids run around. This could
happen to anyone, this tragedy. We hope it happens to
no one. But right now, what this family needs his
love and support.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The mayor says. Community members have offered to assist with boats,
but he's been urging people to just stay out of
the water, allow these trained divers and emergency crews to
do their job. And what we're being told is the
search was called off when it got dark last night,
and we're being told at around six, you know it
gets light early now, around six o'clock this morning, they'll
(04:04):
be back in the water, hoping for a miracle. But
you know it doesn't look good, but they're hoping for
a miracle. They'll be back in the water looking and
searching for this girl. WABC News Time five Away, Let's
go up to the bronx and just what his horrific
story stomach churning A bronx mom a grandmother yesterday charged
with murder for allegedly starving their sixteen year old autistic
(04:29):
boy to death in their filthy apartment. He was severely malnourished.
He has a twin brother that somehow miraculously survived this
house of horrors. Thirty six year old Geneva Jarvis sixty
two year old Denise Jarvis mother grandmother arrested following an
investigation into the March nineteen death of their son and grandson,
(04:50):
Adonis Jarvis. Now The Medical Examiner's Office says the teen,
who was autistic and nonverbal, died from chronic neglects, starvation, dehydration.
The neighbor says she would sometimes see the twins getting
on a bus to school, going to school, but then
weeks would to go by where she didn't see either
of them.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I'm shocked, Sadden, because this would never happen, never, never.
I just saw the special needs you know, did a
little bit more than my daughter. But no, no bells
were ringing in know nothing to be alarm them.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Out source to say the family had been on the
radar of the Cities Administration for Children's Services for more
than a decade, but apparently they failed to remove the
twins from this South Bronx apartment where they were allegedly
being tortured. Now there's photos, videos inside this home on
East one hundred and forty seventh Street, and you just
can't believe what's going on. It's just garbage, clothing strewn
(05:45):
in every single room. It's just filthy in there. Now,
back on March nineteenth, this is when the mom, she
called nine to one one to report that one of
the twins was not breathing. When EMTs arrived, they tried
to do CPR on him. He did not survive. But
when they brought him to the hospital, his doctors who
said he looked like a skeleton sixteen years old, he
weighed fifty nine pounds, and they were the ones who
(06:06):
were incredibly alarmed by what they saw. So they called
in the police and that's what started this whole investigation
into the mother and the grandmother. Now both teens found
covered in bedswords, feces. Fliess Bronx District's attorney office said
they hope they can jail the mom and grandmother forever
(06:27):
more from the neighbors.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
He's sad because the mother and they're supposed to be
the one that will take Tam, be careful to take
care of team.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So you haven't seen him in three years?
Speaker 8 (06:37):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
So maybe they took him, you know, vacation something like that.
But maybe because they were sick.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
They had just shockun horror from the neighbors too. Jarvis
and her mother have been indicted on charges including murder
and endangering the welfare of a person five to eleven.
A seventh person has passed away from legionnaire's outbreak on
the Upper east Side. Health Department announcing this last night.
Ninety two have been diagnosed with the disease since the
outbreak of Source identified five patients still in the hospital.
(07:06):
Sixty seven have been discharged the depth, though the seventh
one has neighbors on the East Side questioning the city's
response to the outbreak that they were too late.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
We think the specter should have been out earlier to
make sure that these buildings were complying with the law.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
I'm concerned, but I'm just trying to be safe.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And City council Speaker Julie men And who agrees with
those folks, releasing another statement yesterday saying that the Council
remains committed to doing everything they can to ensure a
tragedy like this never happens again, and she blames City
Hall for reacting too slowly to the outbreak on the
Upper East Side. Five twelve. Let's go down to d C.
Last night, Senate Republicans blocking a resolution that would have
(07:48):
required President Trump to withdraw US troops from Iran, with
Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Ran Paul joining
Democrats in support nine the Naser fifteen. The motions not
agreed to yes a Thursday's vote came as lawmakers continue
to debate the expanding conflict, with concerns growing over the
(08:08):
safety of US service members rising energy prices. The Senate
has considered similar war powers measures multiple times, but as
the White House continues military operations and negotiations of the
future of the conflict, they have not gotten it done.
And then you had some hopeful moments from the Middle East. Yesterday,
President Trump says a deal to disarm the Palestinian terror
(08:32):
group Hamas has been reached.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
In a post on truth Social Trump said the Board
of Peaks has reached an agreement that would involve the
complete disarmament of all armed groups in Gaza. Trump says
that's part of the deal, Israel will withdrawal from the
enclave and new Palestinian government will be created. The agreement
is said to be implemented in carefully structured phases. I'm
mark Manetheer now, as.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
This war in Iran continues, the Iranians trying to get
to us any way they can, and it could be
Iranian hackers who are behind thirty Minnesota water systems cyber attacks.
Thirty water systems across Minnesota under the cyber attack this week,
and they think it was likely carried out by these
Iranian hackers. News Nations Kelly Meyer as more.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
New York Times is reporting that Iron could be the
culprit in a cyber attack on dozens of Minnesota municipal
water systems this week, though officials say they have not
definitively determined who was responsible for the attack. I reached
out to both the White House and the Statement or
the State Department on this for a statement, but.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Have yet to hear back. Now, the hackers gained access
through Internet connected programmable logic controllers, remote devices that system
integrators use to manage the water infrastructure in Minnesota, though
thankfully they were able to figure this out before they
could do any damage. Five point fourteen Todd Blanche's nomination
for Attorney General. It's up in the air today, Senator
(09:54):
John Gordon from Texas refusing to vote in favor over
that disputed Justice Department five for.
Speaker 13 (10:00):
Just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked
this out, but apparently he's getting some pushback from higher
ups that the White House.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now Cornyn wants written commitment permanently ending that proposed one
point eight billion dollar anti weaponization fund. North Carolina Senator
Tom Tois has expressed the same skepticism, but says he
remains optimistic that there could be a compromise. Reach more
from Senator John Coin.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
This is what he testified to under oath, so it's
not like this is something new and different. They made
a proposal last night, we made a counter proposal, and
we thought we basically had met in the middle, but
heard this morning that that was all off.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now Todd Blanche, by the way, could stay on is
acting Attorney General to the end of the Trump White
House but President Trump is hinted that he could hold
off this vote until after the November elections, where he
thinks he may have more favorable chance of getting this
through come you know, would be after January. See if
that happens. We will head down to Washington, d C.
(11:04):
Where Senate Republicans planning to vote to hold doctor Anthony
Fauci in the contempt of Congress. We'll see if they
follow through with that. But first five to fifteen, let's
head over to the seventy seven w ABC sports desks.

Speaker 2 (11:37):

the Mets agreed to send left handed reliever A J.
Minter to the Minnesota Twins for two minor leaguers. Last night,
the Mets received in fielders a Brewin Agbayani, the son
of their former outfield Benny Agbayan. Really, yeah, how about that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's kind of a nice story, yeah, isn't it.
Speaker 14 (13:22):
And Billy Amy, I bet you never heard of him.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, there you go. But the always got to throw
one unnamed unknown guy in there. Yeah, exactly, But that's cool.
Speaker 14 (13:31):

Speaker 2 (13:37):
WABC News Time five nineteen. Let's sit down to Georgia.
The father of the Appalachi High school shooter has been
sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Judge Nicholas prem says
Colin Grave gave his son, Colt Gray, the gun that
he used to kill two students and two teachers at
a school there in September of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
The warning lights were flashing brighter, and you didn't get
him help, and you didn't remove his access to the guns.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Colin Gray is the first parent of a school shooter
to be convicted of murder.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
The loss here is profound, But I still have to
distinguish your acts from the malignant heart. In the acts
that Colt Gray committed a follow the apple axis.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
YEA Judge Prim explains how he decided the sentence.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
In the act, it matters that you didn't intentionally commit
a crime. It matters that you didn't plan an attack.
It matters that you didn't seek to harm anyone. It
matters that you didn't pull a trigger.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Now, Colt Gray, who's now sixteen years old, who carried
out the crime, he was recently sentenced to life without
the possibility of parole. Senate Republicans are planning to vote
next week to hold doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
It comes after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right more
than one hundred times Wednesday during that three hour congressional
(14:58):
hearing related to the COVID pandemic, and some people suspect
that he may may have made an admission of guilt
somewhere along the way.
Speaker 15 (15:06):
Absolutely absolutely, but I think along with him, Congress should be.
I think they had their hands all in it as well.
Speaker 16 (15:13):
I think it is something high probably not that hid unsure.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, Americans wighing in on this. Kentucky Senator Ran Paul
releasing what he called Fauci's diary from the pandemic, with
Republicans claiming it was deliberately downplaying where COVID originated from.
Doctor Fauci has been granted federal immunity, but Florida's Attorney
general is launching his own investigation in Defauci. More people
talking about that as well.
Speaker 15 (15:37):
Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes, and they
didn't give full transparency and didn't handle it correctly. And
as a result a lot of people die.
Speaker 14 (15:47):
Well, we need to know what he thinks, you know
him exercise in the Fifth Amendment as a way.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Of avoiding the important question is that you know, we
need answers to.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
That in itself shows give full transparency. If you feel
as though you handsled things.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Correctly, you know, I'd love to see it. And there
may be some pulling out about Palchi and what people
think about this latest hearing an investigation, whether they care
or not, carry be curious to see that. Five twenty two.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson set to introduce the city's new
interim police chief today, follows the resignation of her top cop,
(16:22):
there Sean Barnes, who was out of town during last
weekends deadly shooting at the Bite of Seattle Food festival
that killed three now Barnes claims he was caught by
surprise by the mayor's announcement. News Nation's Jim Nelson has
more on the fallout every day this week.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
I've been surprised.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Former King County Sheriff John Urkhard has been critical of
how the two sides have handled the last few days.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
I expect better from a big city police chief, but
especially from a big city mayor and all the people
that she has that advise her. That was really the
most surprising thing to me of all.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
And now he has concerns about turnover nine chiefs since
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Stability matters. Stability matters for the rank and file. Stability
matters for the citizens of.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Seattle, WABC new Stone five twenty three. President Trump announcing
the Freedom Haulers Initiative yesterday. It's a push to put
military veterans behind the wheels of big wig commercial trucks as.
Speaker 17 (17:19):
We get illegal aliens off the roads today. We're also
taking action to replace these unqualified migrant truck drivers with
highly qualified American veterans.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The President says, too many illegal aliens are driving those
big rigs terrorizing the nation's highways because they can't speak Anglish.
Speaker 17 (17:38):
They're driving big rigs, semi trucks, and tractor trailers, all
because Radiica left maniacts at the state level have issued
them commercial drivers' licenses even though they're not entitled to
have them. They don't speak the language.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
For the most part.
Speaker 17 (17:54):
Under our brand new Freedom Haulers, we call it Freedom
Haulers Initiative. Any America, Iken, who has driven a heavy
truck for our military will automatically be eligible for a
commercial driver's license.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
Yees.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
So this initiative will involve bringing together the Departments of Transportation, Labor,
veterans affairs to get expedited commercial driver's licenses after they
complete their service. Texas Democratic Senate candidate James tall Rico
trying to win over moderate Republicans with sort of a
nuanced stance on immigration. During a stop in San Antonio yesterday,
(18:30):
he says that we need ICE agents to be going
after the worst of the worst in America.
Speaker 18 (18:35):
ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not on
our communities. ICE should be deporting gang members, not small
business owners.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Now, his opponent, Republican Ken Paxton, has been taking a
hardline stance on immigration as part of his bid to
inherit President Trump's historic gains with Hispanic voters down to
the lone Star state. Tell Rico says that immigration enforcement
is important, but he believes that some of the current
tactics have gone too far.
Speaker 18 (18:59):
ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.
We need immigration and customs enforcement, but that's not what
ICE is doing ice is terrorizing communities.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Paul showed that this race is close, but still that
Ken Paxton is ahead five twenty five. I don't know
if I believe this. Tell me if you do. A
new trend on social media has people purposely contracting cyclospora.
You know that's that explosive diarrhea thing going around as
a way to lose weight. It seems like a tough
way to do it. Doctor Devolve Desi says it's not
(19:32):
the same as following a weight loss broken Well, yeah, no, duh,
you know, it seems sort of silly to me. Here's
more from the.
Speaker 19 (19:37):
Doctor is that some influencers and some people are following
that losing weight by getting cyclostpora is their rapid ticket
to get quote skinnier. And I don't think that's obviously
the right way to do it, because getting ill from
cyclostpora is not burning fat.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't know how you purposely do that, right, because
we don't know one hundred percent where it's coming from.
Doctor says cy Gelospora, of course, causes severe, long lasting
diarrhea that leads to dehydrationin the loss of electrotes, which
will only make you even sicker. WABC News Time five
twenty six, Did you see the video of that teenage
lifeguard out in southern California? He continues to receive national
(20:19):
attention after being captured on video rescuing a boy at
a California beach over the weekend. Correspondent Kaylee Hartong reports
the footage from the Sea Bright State Beach in Santa
Cruz shows Ryder Williams rushing into rough waters to save
this kid, an amazing moment.
Speaker 20 (20:35):
The video drawing widespread praise, including from the President, who
invited Williams to the White House, but the lifeguard remaining humble,
saying other lifeguards perform rescues just like this every day
and that he was just grateful to return the child
safely to his family.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, the boy's father, sumuet Raie, calls his son's rescue miraculous.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I'm beyond grateful and forever grateful to to writer, I'm
just grateful that he's alive.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's miraculous. And some witnesses say that just before the
incident happened, the surf was normal, and all of a
sudden it got kind of rocket and.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Then that just changed, and it changed in a heartbeat
and I cut a.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Lot of people off guard. Official say they hope this
story reminds people to respect the ocean. Not a bad idea.
Speaker 3 (21:24):

first year forecast from the seventy seven WABC Weather Center.
Mix of sun and clouds today, high eighty five. The

(22:02):
us right now, so happy you are. Sixty four clear
Spring Valley up in Rockland. It's sixty eight and clear
in Asbury Park over in New Jersey, and it's sixty
nine and clear right outside our midtown studios. WABC News
Time five thirty nine. We have three stories on the
same day of people messing with senior citizens. The first
(22:23):
one out of the Modhaven section of the Bronx and
eighty one year old man suffered injuries when he was
shoved to the ground. This was on Tuesday. They have
not caught up with the creep who shoved him to
the ground. There were words apparently exchanged. This is about
seven to twenty in the evening on Tuesday between the
victim and his young attacker. And then he was shoved
(22:44):
to the ground. And he's gonna be okay, but he's
got hip pain, he's got cuts to his head, several
scratches on his elbow. Neighbors say, you know what are
you doing?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I remember they walk when my grandmother on my grandfather,
because it's the same thing. Ver three at nine. This
is a black net. I would love to look at
it here. Yeah, that eighty one year old taken to
the hospital and stable condition. Again, the creep who shoved
into the ground, he's still on the loose. And now
we have another one. This one in sheep said bay
(23:15):
seventy nine year old woman. She's walking down the street
when the guy rides up behind her and grabs the
necklace off her neck, yanks it off. She's gonna be okay.
He rode away. Neighbors responding to that very shocking.
Speaker 21 (23:28):
You know, this has always been a pretty safe neighborhood.
Speaker 18 (23:31):
I think things have started changed in the last two years,
but still think it's very surprising and very unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, so this woman's going to be okay, thank god.
But the NYPD has not found the individual who grabbed
the necklace. They do do have pictures of this individual,
and they have released them this morning. And now. The
third story is a little stranger. This one is out
of Long Island. The daughter of a Massapeka Park woman.
She's telling us that her mother, who's a senior citizen,
(23:58):
has been the target of harassment for months from a
group of children who have been showing up late at
night and repeatedly kicking on the front door. A surveillance
video captures these kids kicking, banging on the woman's front
door numerous times. They've broken the door, this wooden door
in the outside door. Some of those videos have been
(24:19):
posted up on Facebook. The damage that they've done. They
haven't caught up with these kids, but it's harassment. I mean,
this poor women lives alone and all of a sudden
there's these kids banging on her door at night. That
when you do damage to somebody's house. Then I could
see that.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
You know, it's an issue.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, So it's been numerous nights she's called the police.
They have not been able to figure out who these
kids are. She's lived in this home in Massapequa Park
for twenty four years and they just can't figure out
who's behind this. But neighbors are saying she should keep
calling the police. They're absolutely breaking the law. What I
would do and I would just keep calling the police.
They have to educate their kids that this is not funny.
(24:58):
It's not a praankic, it's a crime. I feel bad
for I'm sorry about that now. I will say the
one positive thing out of this his neighbors have rallied
around this woman and they've offered to repair the damage
door and even be watching out for these kids when
they come around the neighborhood. They'll eventually catch up with them.
While we're out on Long Island, A Suffolk County Driver's
ed Instructure instructor under arrest today after police say he
(25:22):
made sexually explicit remarks to male students during driving lessons.
That's just what you want to hear as a parent.
Sixty six year old Joseph Kleim arrested charged with endangering
the welfare of a child. Now Police say the incidents
happened during driving lessons from July sixth until last week.
Investigators say that Klein made these sexually explicit, inappropriate comments
(25:45):
to these teenagers while conducting these lessons on roadways in Hophog.
Speaker 19 (25:50):
That's nasty.
Speaker 21 (25:51):
I think that's really bad behavior, especially since he's the adult.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You would think so. Climb is employed by the Elite
Driving School, which apparently subcontracted by the Ivy League School
Ivy League Driving School, and the head of the Ivy
League Driving School says he acted immediately after he learned
about these allegations.
Speaker 22 (26:12):
It was reported to us at Ivy League School that
one of the drivers employed by Elite Driving School had
made inappropriate remarks, racial slurs, totally abhorrent language in front
of a bunch of sixteen year old boys.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Now what the exact comments were, we don't know, but
you could probably figure it out. They weren't released by
the Suffolk County Police, but the owner of that school
says he did everything he could to make sure this
guy was arrested.
Speaker 22 (26:42):
We immediately called the parents, required that Elite never have
this driver work with our children again. I personally called
Child Protective Services. I personally called the police to report it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, all right, Seffa County Police believe there may be
additional victims out there there who've had to deal with
this creepy dude, and they're asking them to call the police.
Five point forty four. Let's go down to New Jersey
where neighbors in Keyport gathering for a crisis meeting last
night for more information a possible cancer cluster. There After
the more than four hundred cases have been reported, including
(27:18):
dozens on just one block. There was a moment of
silence and prayer last night for those in Keyport who
have lost their life to cancer or continue to suffer
from it. They came together last night to demand that
the state do more toxic chemical testing on and around
the Aerow Marine landfill. They fear that may be seeping
(27:39):
into the rear intin bay and to the ground soil
and that's what may be making them sick, but they
don't know because nobody's doing any testing.
Speaker 23 (27:46):
DP is telling us that yeah, it's contaminated up there.
Still the levels are high, not acceptable levels, but there's
still no pathway of those chemicals coming down to us.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now, that's a longtime resident, sal lecor who lost his
son to cancer in twenty twenty two. He was recently
diagnosed himself with leukemia and lymphoma, and they're desperate to
know whether the runoff from the site might have been
a contributor to their cancers. Then there's a sixteen year
old girl who showed up at this event last night.
She too fought off and so, thank god successfully is
(28:20):
beat cancer about money.
Speaker 23 (28:22):
They don't want to spend money, so they're gonna do
everything they can to run away from it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I shouldn't be here. I should be doing normal high
schooler things, and instead I'm here begging the state to
pick up some slack here.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
It makes you think and question and say, what are
we doing here?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Like, let's get the testing done.
Speaker 16 (28:37):
Let's test beyond the footprint of this site and see
what happens.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, I mean that makes sense. People who live in
the area say they've reached out to Governor Mikey Cheryl's
office to force the state's hand on expanding testing so
they can figure out exactly what's going on there. In
a moment, we'll head over to a town in New
Jersey where everybody's holding their nose twenty four hours a day.
We'll get into that in just a moment. The first
five forty six. Let's head divert to the seventy seven

Francisco Lindor laced a run scoring single in the sixth

WABC WABC News Time five fifty. The MTA's latest customer
satisfaction survey suggests that most riders are actually feeling pretty
positive about public transportation. They say reliability seems to be better.
They still have issues with cleanliness and safety, but the
MTA is pretty happy with their overall rating. Now, when
(31:32):
you talk to riders on the platform and you tell
them about their survey, they'll go negative on it.
Speaker 24 (31:37):
The trains are very delayed and are in rush how
where they're overpacked and they should have more trains are
in rush hour.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It says it's going to be here in a minute.
It should definitely be here in a minute.
Speaker 15 (31:49):
They shouldn't take me an hour and twenty minutes when
I know the right of the forty five minute ride.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Now, the MTA told us they survey at about ninety
two thousand New York.
Speaker 21 (31:56):
Pers frequency when it needs to be there.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's gotten better.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
For U sexy service eighte never no, now, not at all.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
In the survey of the there was a notable shift
in rider priorities and that commuters say they're more focused
to getting their destinations on time. And apparently that's happening more.
But again, when you put a microphone in front of
these riders on a platform, they'll complain about the end.
Speaker 24 (32:19):
They want to get home quicker. Everyone is working more
hours because of inflation, so they want to be home
as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, and they weren't told about the fact that next
year and or check that. In twenty twenty seven, the
MDA talking about doing a fair hike five point fifty two.
You know, there's been another Long Islander who's come down
with rabbit fever. So that's now three. I'd never heard
of rabbit fever until the first case a couple of
weeks back. It is a very rare tickborn illness. A
(32:48):
ridge man is sick with it. There is a nine
year old in Riverhead who has rabbit fever as well.
Here's his mother talking about infectious disease.
Speaker 16 (32:58):
Doctor said, he's like he's only seen once in his
whole career, so many wild rabbits in our yard all
the time. It was like right away, it was like
I never thought in a million years and that it
actually could be that.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah. So the nine year old, like the ridge man, says,
he's taken the right medications that have been given to
him by his doctor. But still now months after the diagnosis,
he's having trouble sleeping, lots of body pain. I'll let
him explain. I still hurting. I can't go to sleep
down much.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I can't well, I can go to sleep, but I
just get tired, like really tired.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
It is interesting. Three cases on Long Island. There was
only two hundred cases of rabbit fever in all of
the country last year. A Niantic, Connecticut man recovering after
surviving a shark attack while he was snorkeling in the Bahamas.
He was down there with his wife and family for
their fortieth wedding anniversary. So John Schweitzer was snorkeling with
(33:53):
the Caribbean reef sharks in the western Bahamas with his
family last Friday when he was bitten and by the
sharks just moments after he got into the water.
Speaker 21 (34:04):
Beautiful diving, beautiful clear water, and we dove with the sharks.
It was so fast, so immediate, that you knew what happened.
It was no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
His son apparently spotted this large shadow. He thinks the
shark was about five to seven feet long, swimming toward him.
That's when Schweitzer realized he had been bitten by the shark.
He called for help. He was quickly pulled back onto
a boat, and then he looked down at his leg
and he said, oh, this is bad.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
We used many many towels and turnic kits to hold
to keep the blooded bay.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Now he was on a cruise. So Schweitzer was taken
back to the cruise ship. And a lot of these
cruise ships they have essentially like operating rooms and doctors,
so they were able to treat them right away.
Speaker 21 (34:46):
Put in twenty six stitches in my leg and four
in my hand.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah. He was later taken to the hospital in Miami,
and after one day he was able to return home
to Connecticut because his recovery was going so well. Still
walk now the question everybody was asking, you know, he'd
went on this shark expedition as part of this cruise.
Would he do it again?
Speaker 9 (35:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
No, and I won't do it again. I don't think so.
In New Jersey over in Elizabeth. Now, in fairness to
the town Elizabeth, it looks like a nice town. But
I will say this, ever since I was a little kid,
when you pass through Elizabeth on the New Jersey Turnpike,
you always get this distinct smell that has given New
Jersey a bad reputation for years. But now apparently there's
(35:30):
a new foul oder they're dealing with, and it's coming
from a water treatment plant and it's ruining things. So
at the Aldell Porto Restaurant, which is in downtown Elizabeth.
They had been hoping for huge crowds during the World
Cup since it was playing nearby in the meadowlands, but
they said the smell was so bad that when people
would show up to the restaurant, they'd walk and leave.
(35:51):
We expected a lot of business from the World cub
but because of the smell was so unbearable that people
just couldn't sit outside on the patio. And the autobody
shop employed he's down the streets say they have not
been spared either. They say it's just hard to work
all day with this water treatment stench.
Speaker 14 (36:07):
In the end, it's horrible smell, the rotten eggs all
day long, every day and the plans down there, you know,
probably three blocks away and you can still get to.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Smell here now. City officials say that future its stench
is coming from the Edward P. Desher Secondary Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Imagine having you you're named after a wastewater treatment facility,
but okay. It is owned and operated by Essex and
Union Counties. It serves several communities. The city of Elizabeth
(36:36):
is one of its tenants, and the mayor and Elizabeth says,
you know, he's reached out to these people, and he said,
you got to fix this. It stinks in town. You're
ruining business.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
Here's the mayor, I would describe to smell as if
you were sitting in your own toilet and decided to
put your head in it.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
No, that sounds nice, The mayor says, now he's ready
to take legal action, and he if he can legally,
he'll levy substantial daily fines against this wastewater treatment till
the stink goes away.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
The order that has been emanating over the past couple
of months has been the strongest it's ever been in
the history of our city. The Joint Meeting has not
done what is necessary to control the orders. For the
Joint Meeting to say it depends on which way the
wind is blowing on what areas affected, is frankly a
(37:23):
really poor answer for a governmental agency.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Well, he's right about that, the mayor says, if the
city can't resolve the problem, he's ready to get the
governor's office involved.

Neighbors in the Bronx want to know how a mom
could treat her kids so bad. Still no sign of
a little girl who went missing. In the Passaic River
(01:09):
along Island. Driving school instructor was creeping kids out about
oder has everyone holding their nose in one New Jersey
town and a hungary shark ruins a wedding anniversary for
a Connecticut couple. All right, let's get into it. At
five oh four, just this search for a little girl
in the Passaic River. There's a story we told you about.
(01:30):
This was on Wednesday night. Three kids two or ten,
one eleven years old sort of accidentally found themselves in
deep water in the Passaic River. They were playing on
a pier and probably did not realize that if they
stepped too far into this pier they would find themselves
no longer in shallow water, but incredibly deep water. At
(01:52):
least that's the thought of what happened. So the boy
and his sister they went into the water first, and
the boy was able to push his young sister who's
ten years old or eleven years old, back to shore.
She was able to walk out. He drowned. He was
found yesterday, and they were with a third friend who
is eleven years old. They have not found her yet,
(02:12):
so the search continues. Neighbors were watching on yesterday as
cruise searched the Passaic River in Passeic.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
She's she's this beautiful little girl. She's very energetic and
she just she's very creative, and she just like she's
a great, great girl.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
We're praying that they find her.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, and the mayor talking about this ramp that they're
probably gonna have to fix it.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Unfortunately, in the ramp when it's covered by water, he
gives a perception that is much longer than what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That is Mayor Hector Laura. Children on the opposite side
of the river. They saw what happened, immediately called nine
to one one.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One man desperately tried to rescue these kids. He ended
up in chest deep water. He said the current was
just too much. He had to get out of the water. Now,
this is a friend of the person who tried to
save these kids.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
He was trying to call it like to get out,
you know, to play in the water. He was fitted
bad those He was fine to say the kids, MA
can lose. You know, hadn't seen too much to someone
like you because at.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Too Yeah, Passaic Mayor Laura says, the family of the
boy who drowned is enduring immense grief. I mean, you
have to imagine. He noted that the children's mother and
siblings are also coping with the recent loss of their
children's father. Now Laura urging the community to focus on
supporting the family rather than assigning blame for what took
(03:29):
place on Wednesday night.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
We take them to the park, they run around, they place.
Sometimes you're talking to others, kids run around. This could
happen to anyone, this tragedy. We hope it happens to
no one. But right now, what this family needs his
love and support.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The mayor says. Community members have offered to assist with boats,
but he's been urging people to just stay out of
the water, allow these trained divers and emergency crews to
do their job. And what we're being told is the
search was called off when it got dark last night,
and we're being told at around six, you know it
gets light early now, around six o'clock this morning, they'll
(04:04):
be back in the water, hoping for a miracle. But
you know it doesn't look good, but they're hoping for
a miracle. They'll be back in the water looking and
searching for this girl. WABC News Time five Away, Let's
go up to the bronx and just what his horrific
story stomach churning A bronx mom a grandmother yesterday charged
with murder for allegedly starving their sixteen year old autistic
(04:29):
boy to death in their filthy apartment. He was severely malnourished.
He has a twin brother that somehow miraculously survived this
house of horrors. Thirty six year old Geneva Jarvis sixty
two year old Denise Jarvis mother grandmother arrested following an
investigation into the March nineteen death of their son and grandson,
(04:50):
Adonis Jarvis. Now The Medical Examiner's Office says the teen,
who was autistic and nonverbal, died from chronic neglects, starvation, dehydration.
The neighbor says she would sometimes see the twins getting
on a bus to school, going to school, but then
weeks would to go by where she didn't see either
of them.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I'm shocked, Sadden, because this would never happen, never, never.
I just saw the special needs you know, did a
little bit more than my daughter. But no, no bells
were ringing in know nothing to be alarm them.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Out source to say the family had been on the
radar of the Cities Administration for Children's Services for more
than a decade, but apparently they failed to remove the
twins from this South Bronx apartment where they were allegedly
being tortured. Now there's photos, videos inside this home on
East one hundred and forty seventh Street, and you just
can't believe what's going on. It's just garbage, clothing strewn
(05:45):
in every single room. It's just filthy in there. Now,
back on March nineteenth, this is when the mom, she
called nine to one one to report that one of
the twins was not breathing. When EMTs arrived, they tried
to do CPR on him. He did not survive. But
when they brought him to the hospital, his doctors who
said he looked like a skeleton sixteen years old, he
weighed fifty nine pounds, and they were the ones who
(06:06):
were incredibly alarmed by what they saw. So they called
in the police and that's what started this whole investigation
into the mother and the grandmother. Now both teens found
covered in bedswords, feces. Fliess Bronx District's attorney office said
they hope they can jail the mom and grandmother forever
(06:27):
more from the neighbors.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
He's sad because the mother and they're supposed to be
the one that will take Tam, be careful to take
care of team.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So you haven't seen him in three years?
Speaker 8 (06:37):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
So maybe they took him, you know, vacation something like that.
But maybe because they were sick.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
They had just shockun horror from the neighbors too. Jarvis
and her mother have been indicted on charges including murder
and endangering the welfare of a person five to eleven.
A seventh person has passed away from legionnaire's outbreak on
the Upper east Side. Health Department announcing this last night.
Ninety two have been diagnosed with the disease since the
outbreak of Source identified five patients still in the hospital.
(07:06):
Sixty seven have been discharged the depth, though the seventh
one has neighbors on the East Side questioning the city's
response to the outbreak that they were too late.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
We think the specter should have been out earlier to
make sure that these buildings were complying with the law.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
I'm concerned, but I'm just trying to be safe.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And City council Speaker Julie men And who agrees with
those folks, releasing another statement yesterday saying that the Council
remains committed to doing everything they can to ensure a
tragedy like this never happens again, and she blames City
Hall for reacting too slowly to the outbreak on the
Upper East Side. Five twelve. Let's go down to d C.
Last night, Senate Republicans blocking a resolution that would have
(07:48):
required President Trump to withdraw US troops from Iran, with
Republican Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Ran Paul joining
Democrats in support nine the Naser fifteen. The motions not
agreed to yes a Thursday's vote came as lawmakers continue
to debate the expanding conflict, with concerns growing over the
(08:08):
safety of US service members rising energy prices. The Senate
has considered similar war powers measures multiple times, but as
the White House continues military operations and negotiations of the
future of the conflict, they have not gotten it done.
And then you had some hopeful moments from the Middle East. Yesterday,
President Trump says a deal to disarm the Palestinian terror
(08:32):
group Hamas has been reached.
Speaker 11 (08:34):
In a post on truth Social Trump said the Board
of Peaks has reached an agreement that would involve the
complete disarmament of all armed groups in Gaza. Trump says
that's part of the deal, Israel will withdrawal from the
enclave and new Palestinian government will be created. The agreement
is said to be implemented in carefully structured phases. I'm
mark Manetheer now, as.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
This war in Iran continues, the Iranians trying to get
to us any way they can, and it could be
Iranian hackers who are behind thirty Minnesota water systems cyber attacks.
Thirty water systems across Minnesota under the cyber attack this week,
and they think it was likely carried out by these
Iranian hackers. News Nations Kelly Meyer as more.
Speaker 12 (09:13):
New York Times is reporting that Iron could be the
culprit in a cyber attack on dozens of Minnesota municipal
water systems this week, though officials say they have not
definitively determined who was responsible for the attack. I reached
out to both the White House and the Statement or
the State Department on this for a statement, but.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Have yet to hear back. Now, the hackers gained access
through Internet connected programmable logic controllers, remote devices that system
integrators use to manage the water infrastructure in Minnesota, though
thankfully they were able to figure this out before they
could do any damage. Five point fourteen Todd Blanche's nomination
for Attorney General. It's up in the air today, Senator
(09:54):
John Gordon from Texas refusing to vote in favor over
that disputed Justice Department five for.
Speaker 13 (10:00):
Just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked
this out, but apparently he's getting some pushback from higher
ups that the White House.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Now Cornyn wants written commitment permanently ending that proposed one
point eight billion dollar anti weaponization fund. North Carolina Senator
Tom Tois has expressed the same skepticism, but says he
remains optimistic that there could be a compromise. Reach more
from Senator John Coin.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
This is what he testified to under oath, so it's
not like this is something new and different. They made
a proposal last night, we made a counter proposal, and
we thought we basically had met in the middle, but
heard this morning that that was all off.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now Todd Blanche, by the way, could stay on is
acting Attorney General to the end of the Trump White
House but President Trump is hinted that he could hold
off this vote until after the November elections, where he
thinks he may have more favorable chance of getting this
through come you know, would be after January. See if
that happens. We will head down to Washington, d C.
(11:04):
Where Senate Republicans planning to vote to hold doctor Anthony
Fauci in the contempt of Congress. We'll see if they
follow through with that. But first five to fifteen, let's
head over to the seventy seven w ABC sports desks.
Happy Friday, good more than justin away. Happy Friday.
Speaker 14 (11:20):
Good morning to you know them all. Lighten start out

Yankees blew an early lead on Wednesday and lost six
to five and twelve innings, fell three and a half games.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Behind Tampa Bay in the AI.
Speaker 14 (11:39):
Least with the last night or yesterday's loss, I should
say New York starter Brian Weathers did not allow a
run on three it's through seven innings while striking at
four and walking three through one hundred and six pitches.
Up next for the Yankees will one. We'll start this
afternoon series opener against the Cubs, with the Yanks remaining

stint on the Il Brooks Rally, an impending free agent
who is a candidate to be traded by the last
place Mets before the deadline come Monday, got five outs
in the seventh and eighth. Devin Williams earned a sixteenth

the ninth. Francisco Lindor a last eight run scoring single

(12:44):
They've won at least four times in a five game span.
Mets started Nolan McLean, gave up two runs and struck
out six and six and a third innings. He has
allowed two earned runs or fewer ten times in as
the last eleven starts up next for the Mets Friday,
Parulta will start Tonight's second game of this four game set.
First fit from City Field to schedule for seven to
ten PM, and in the first of several anticipated moves
to unload veterans before that trading deadline on a Monday,
(13:07):
the Mets agreed to send left handed reliever A J.
Minter to the Minnesota Twins for two minor leaguers. Last night,
the Mets received in fielders a Brewin Agbayani, the son
of their former outfield Benny Agbayan. Really, yeah, how about that.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's kind of a nice story, yeah, isn't it.
Speaker 14 (13:22):
And Billy Amy, I bet you never heard of him.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
No, there you go. But the always got to throw
one unnamed unknown guy in there. Yeah, exactly, But that's cool.

WABC News Time five nineteen. Let's sit down to Georgia.
The father of the Appalachi High school shooter has been
sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Judge Nicholas prem says
Colin Grave gave his son, Colt Gray, the gun that
he used to kill two students and two teachers at
a school there in September of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
The warning lights were flashing brighter, and you didn't get
him help, and you didn't remove his access to the guns.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Colin Gray is the first parent of a school shooter
to be convicted of murder.
Speaker 10 (14:10):
The loss here is profound, But I still have to
distinguish your acts from the malignant heart. In the acts
that Colt Gray committed a follow the apple axis.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
YEA Judge Prim explains how he decided the sentence.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
In the act, it matters that you didn't intentionally commit
a crime. It matters that you didn't plan an attack.
It matters that you didn't seek to harm anyone. It
matters that you didn't pull a trigger.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Now, Colt Gray, who's now sixteen years old, who carried
out the crime, he was recently sentenced to life without
the possibility of parole. Senate Republicans are planning to vote
next week to hold doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
It comes after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right more
than one hundred times Wednesday during that three hour congressional
(14:58):
hearing related to the COVID pandemic, and some people suspect
that he may may have made an admission of guilt
somewhere along the way.
Speaker 15 (15:06):
Absolutely absolutely, but I think along with him, Congress should be.
I think they had their hands all in it as well.
Speaker 16 (15:13):
I think it is something high probably not that hid unsure.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, Americans wighing in on this. Kentucky Senator Ran Paul
releasing what he called Fauci's diary from the pandemic, with
Republicans claiming it was deliberately downplaying where COVID originated from.
Doctor Fauci has been granted federal immunity, but Florida's Attorney
general is launching his own investigation in Defauci. More people
talking about that as well.
Speaker 15 (15:37):
Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes, and they
didn't give full transparency and didn't handle it correctly. And
as a result a lot of people die.
Speaker 14 (15:47):
Well, we need to know what he thinks, you know
him exercise in the Fifth Amendment as a way.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Of avoiding the important question is that you know, we
need answers to.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
That in itself shows give full transparency. If you feel
as though you handsled things.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Correctly, you know, I'd love to see it. And there
may be some pulling out about Palchi and what people
think about this latest hearing an investigation, whether they care
or not, carry be curious to see that. Five twenty two.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson set to introduce the city's new
interim police chief today, follows the resignation of her top cop,
(16:22):
there Sean Barnes, who was out of town during last
weekends deadly shooting at the Bite of Seattle Food festival
that killed three now Barnes claims he was caught by
surprise by the mayor's announcement. News Nation's Jim Nelson has
more on the fallout every day this week.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
I've been surprised.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Former King County Sheriff John Urkhard has been critical of
how the two sides have handled the last few days.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
I expect better from a big city police chief, but
especially from a big city mayor and all the people
that she has that advise her. That was really the
most surprising thing to me of all.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
And now he has concerns about turnover nine chiefs since
two thousand and nine.

Seattle, WABC new Stone five twenty three. President Trump announcing
the Freedom Haulers Initiative yesterday. It's a push to put
military veterans behind the wheels of big wig commercial trucks as.
Speaker 17 (17:19):
We get illegal aliens off the roads today. We're also
taking action to replace these unqualified migrant truck drivers with
highly qualified American veterans.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The President says, too many illegal aliens are driving those
big rigs terrorizing the nation's highways because they can't speak Anglish.
Speaker 17 (17:38):
They're driving big rigs, semi trucks, and tractor trailers, all
because Radiica left maniacts at the state level have issued
them commercial drivers' licenses even though they're not entitled to
have them. They don't speak the language.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
For the most part.
Speaker 17 (17:54):
Under our brand new Freedom Haulers, we call it Freedom
Haulers Initiative. Any America, Iken, who has driven a heavy
truck for our military will automatically be eligible for a
commercial driver's license.
Speaker 10 (18:07):
Yees.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
So this initiative will involve bringing together the Departments of Transportation, Labor,
veterans affairs to get expedited commercial driver's licenses after they
complete their service. Texas Democratic Senate candidate James tall Rico
trying to win over moderate Republicans with sort of a
nuanced stance on immigration. During a stop in San Antonio yesterday,
(18:30):
he says that we need ICE agents to be going
after the worst of the worst in America.
Speaker 18 (18:35):
ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not on
our communities. ICE should be deporting gang members, not small
business owners.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Now, his opponent, Republican Ken Paxton, has been taking a
hardline stance on immigration as part of his bid to
inherit President Trump's historic gains with Hispanic voters down to
the lone Star state. Tell Rico says that immigration enforcement
is important, but he believes that some of the current
tactics have gone too far.
Speaker 18 (18:59):
ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.
We need immigration and customs enforcement, but that's not what
ICE is doing ice is terrorizing communities.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Paul showed that this race is close, but still that
Ken Paxton is ahead five twenty five. I don't know
if I believe this. Tell me if you do. A
new trend on social media has people purposely contracting cyclospora.
You know that's that explosive diarrhea thing going around as
a way to lose weight. It seems like a tough
way to do it. Doctor Devolve Desi says it's not
(19:32):
the same as following a weight loss broken Well, yeah, no, duh,
you know, it seems sort of silly to me. Here's
more from the.
Speaker 19 (19:37):
Doctor is that some influencers and some people are following
that losing weight by getting cyclostpora is their rapid ticket
to get quote skinnier. And I don't think that's obviously
the right way to do it, because getting ill from
cyclostpora is not burning fat.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I don't know how you purposely do that, right, because
we don't know one hundred percent where it's coming from.
Doctor says cy Gelospora, of course, causes severe, long lasting
diarrhea that leads to dehydrationin the loss of electrotes, which
will only make you even sicker. WABC News Time five
twenty six, Did you see the video of that teenage
lifeguard out in southern California? He continues to receive national
(20:19):
attention after being captured on video rescuing a boy at
a California beach over the weekend. Correspondent Kaylee Hartong reports
the footage from the Sea Bright State Beach in Santa
Cruz shows Ryder Williams rushing into rough waters to save
this kid, an amazing moment.
Speaker 20 (20:35):
The video drawing widespread praise, including from the President, who
invited Williams to the White House, but the lifeguard remaining humble,
saying other lifeguards perform rescues just like this every day
and that he was just grateful to return the child
safely to his family.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, the boy's father, sumuet Raie, calls his son's rescue miraculous.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I'm beyond grateful and forever grateful to to writer, I'm
just grateful that he's alive.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
It's miraculous. And some witnesses say that just before the
incident happened, the surf was normal, and all of a
sudden it got kind of rocket and.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Then that just changed, and it changed in a heartbeat
and I cut a.
Speaker 2 (21:16):

story reminds people to respect the ocean. Not a bad idea.

Spring Valley up in Rockland. It's sixty eight and clear
in Asbury Park over in New Jersey, and it's sixty
nine and clear right outside our midtown studios. WABC News
Time five thirty nine. We have three stories on the
same day of people messing with senior citizens. The first
(22:23):
one out of the Modhaven section of the Bronx and
eighty one year old man suffered injuries when he was
shoved to the ground. This was on Tuesday. They have
not caught up with the creep who shoved him to
the ground. There were words apparently exchanged. This is about
seven to twenty in the evening on Tuesday between the
victim and his young attacker. And then he was shoved
(22:44):
to the ground. And he's gonna be okay, but he's
got hip pain, he's got cuts to his head, several
scratches on his elbow. Neighbors say, you know what are
you doing?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I remember they walk when my grandmother on my grandfather,
because it's the same thing. Ver three at nine. This
is a black net. I would love to look at
it here. Yeah, that eighty one year old taken to
the hospital and stable condition. Again, the creep who shoved
into the ground, he's still on the loose. And now
we have another one. This one in sheep said bay
(23:15):
seventy nine year old woman. She's walking down the street
when the guy rides up behind her and grabs the
necklace off her neck, yanks it off. She's gonna be okay.
He rode away. Neighbors responding to that very shocking.
Speaker 21 (23:28):
You know, this has always been a pretty safe neighborhood.
Speaker 18 (23:31):
I think things have started changed in the last two years,
but still think it's very surprising and very unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, so this woman's going to be okay, thank god.
But the NYPD has not found the individual who grabbed
the necklace. They do do have pictures of this individual,
and they have released them this morning. And now. The
third story is a little stranger. This one is out
of Long Island. The daughter of a Massapeka Park woman.
She's telling us that her mother, who's a senior citizen,
(23:58):
has been the target of harassment for months from a
group of children who have been showing up late at
night and repeatedly kicking on the front door. A surveillance
video captures these kids kicking, banging on the woman's front
door numerous times. They've broken the door, this wooden door
in the outside door. Some of those videos have been
(24:19):
posted up on Facebook. The damage that they've done. They
haven't caught up with these kids, but it's harassment. I mean,
this poor women lives alone and all of a sudden
there's these kids banging on her door at night. That
when you do damage to somebody's house. Then I could
see that.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
You know, it's an issue.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, So it's been numerous nights she's called the police.
They have not been able to figure out who these
kids are. She's lived in this home in Massapequa Park
for twenty four years and they just can't figure out
who's behind this. But neighbors are saying she should keep
calling the police. They're absolutely breaking the law. What I
would do and I would just keep calling the police.
They have to educate their kids that this is not funny.
(24:58):
It's not a praankic, it's a crime. I feel bad
for I'm sorry about that now. I will say the
one positive thing out of this his neighbors have rallied
around this woman and they've offered to repair the damage
door and even be watching out for these kids when
they come around the neighborhood. They'll eventually catch up with them.
While we're out on Long Island, A Suffolk County Driver's
ed Instructure instructor under arrest today after police say he
(25:22):
made sexually explicit remarks to male students during driving lessons.
That's just what you want to hear as a parent.
Sixty six year old Joseph Kleim arrested charged with endangering
the welfare of a child. Now Police say the incidents
happened during driving lessons from July sixth until last week.
Investigators say that Klein made these sexually explicit, inappropriate comments
(25:45):
to these teenagers while conducting these lessons on roadways in Hophog.
Speaker 19 (25:50):
That's nasty.
Speaker 21 (25:51):
I think that's really bad behavior, especially since he's the adult.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
You would think so. Climb is employed by the Elite
Driving School, which apparently subcontracted by the Ivy League School
Ivy League Driving School, and the head of the Ivy
League Driving School says he acted immediately after he learned
about these allegations.
Speaker 22 (26:12):
It was reported to us at Ivy League School that
one of the drivers employed by Elite Driving School had
made inappropriate remarks, racial slurs, totally abhorrent language in front
of a bunch of sixteen year old boys.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Now what the exact comments were, we don't know, but
you could probably figure it out. They weren't released by
the Suffolk County Police, but the owner of that school
says he did everything he could to make sure this
guy was arrested.
Speaker 22 (26:42):
We immediately called the parents, required that Elite never have
this driver work with our children again. I personally called
Child Protective Services. I personally called the police to report it.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, all right, Seffa County Police believe there may be
additional victims out there there who've had to deal with
this creepy dude, and they're asking them to call the police.
Five point forty four. Let's go down to New Jersey
where neighbors in Keyport gathering for a crisis meeting last
night for more information a possible cancer cluster. There After
the more than four hundred cases have been reported, including
(27:18):
dozens on just one block. There was a moment of
silence and prayer last night for those in Keyport who
have lost their life to cancer or continue to suffer
from it. They came together last night to demand that
the state do more toxic chemical testing on and around
the Aerow Marine landfill. They fear that may be seeping
(27:39):
into the rear intin bay and to the ground soil
and that's what may be making them sick, but they
don't know because nobody's doing any testing.
Speaker 23 (27:46):
DP is telling us that yeah, it's contaminated up there.
Still the levels are high, not acceptable levels, but there's
still no pathway of those chemicals coming down to us.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Now, that's a longtime resident, sal lecor who lost his
son to cancer in twenty twenty two. He was recently
diagnosed himself with leukemia and lymphoma, and they're desperate to
know whether the runoff from the site might have been
a contributor to their cancers. Then there's a sixteen year
old girl who showed up at this event last night.
She too fought off and so, thank god successfully is
(28:20):
beat cancer about money.
Speaker 23 (28:22):
They don't want to spend money, so they're gonna do
everything they can to run away from it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I shouldn't be here. I should be doing normal high
schooler things, and instead I'm here begging the state to
pick up some slack here.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
It makes you think and question and say, what are
we doing here?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Like, let's get the testing done.
Speaker 16 (28:37):
Let's test beyond the footprint of this site and see
what happens.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, I mean that makes sense. People who live in
the area say they've reached out to Governor Mikey Cheryl's
office to force the state's hand on expanding testing so
they can figure out exactly what's going on there. In
a moment, we'll head over to a town in New
Jersey where everybody's holding their nose twenty four hours a day.
We'll get into that in just a moment. The first

WABC WABC News Time five fifty. The MTA's latest customer
satisfaction survey suggests that most riders are actually feeling pretty
positive about public transportation. They say reliability seems to be better.
They still have issues with cleanliness and safety, but the
MTA is pretty happy with their overall rating. Now, when
(31:32):
you talk to riders on the platform and you tell
them about their survey, they'll go negative on it.
Speaker 24 (31:37):
The trains are very delayed and are in rush how
where they're overpacked and they should have more trains are
in rush hour.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It says it's going to be here in a minute.
It should definitely be here in a minute.
Speaker 15 (31:49):
They shouldn't take me an hour and twenty minutes when
I know the right of the forty five minute ride.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Now, the MTA told us they survey at about ninety
two thousand New York.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's gotten better.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
For U sexy service eighte never no, now, not at all.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
In the survey of the there was a notable shift
in rider priorities and that commuters say they're more focused
to getting their destinations on time. And apparently that's happening more.
But again, when you put a microphone in front of
these riders on a platform, they'll complain about the end.
Speaker 24 (32:19):
They want to get home quicker. Everyone is working more
hours because of inflation, so they want to be home
as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, and they weren't told about the fact that next
year and or check that. In twenty twenty seven, the
MDA talking about doing a fair hike five point fifty two.
You know, there's been another Long Islander who's come down
with rabbit fever. So that's now three. I'd never heard
of rabbit fever until the first case a couple of
weeks back. It is a very rare tickborn illness. A
(32:48):
ridge man is sick with it. There is a nine
year old in Riverhead who has rabbit fever as well.
Here's his mother talking about infectious disease.
Speaker 16 (32:58):
Doctor said, he's like he's only seen once in his
whole career, so many wild rabbits in our yard all
the time. It was like right away, it was like
I never thought in a million years and that it
actually could be that.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah. So the nine year old, like the ridge man, says,
he's taken the right medications that have been given to
him by his doctor. But still now months after the diagnosis,
he's having trouble sleeping, lots of body pain. I'll let
him explain. I still hurting. I can't go to sleep
down much.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I can't well, I can go to sleep, but I
just get tired, like really tired.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
It is interesting. Three cases on Long Island. There was
only two hundred cases of rabbit fever in all of
the country last year. A Niantic, Connecticut man recovering after
surviving a shark attack while he was snorkeling in the Bahamas.
He was down there with his wife and family for
their fortieth wedding anniversary. So John Schweitzer was snorkeling with
(33:53):
the Caribbean reef sharks in the western Bahamas with his
family last Friday when he was bitten and by the
sharks just moments after he got into the water.
Speaker 21 (34:04):
Beautiful diving, beautiful clear water, and we dove with the sharks.
It was so fast, so immediate, that you knew what happened.
It was no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
His son apparently spotted this large shadow. He thinks the
shark was about five to seven feet long, swimming toward him.
That's when Schweitzer realized he had been bitten by the shark.
He called for help. He was quickly pulled back onto
a boat, and then he looked down at his leg
and he said, oh, this is bad.
Speaker 21 (34:31):
We used many many towels and turnic kits to hold
to keep the blooded bay.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Now he was on a cruise. So Schweitzer was taken
back to the cruise ship. And a lot of these
cruise ships they have essentially like operating rooms and doctors,
so they were able to treat them right away.
Speaker 21 (34:46):
Put in twenty six stitches in my leg and four
in my hand.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah. He was later taken to the hospital in Miami,
and after one day he was able to return home
to Connecticut because his recovery was going so well. Still
walk now the question everybody was asking, you know, he'd
went on this shark expedition as part of this cruise.
Would he do it again?
Speaker 9 (35:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
No, and I won't do it again. I don't think so.
In New Jersey over in Elizabeth. Now, in fairness to
the town Elizabeth, it looks like a nice town. But
I will say this, ever since I was a little kid,
when you pass through Elizabeth on the New Jersey Turnpike,
you always get this distinct smell that has given New
Jersey a bad reputation for years. But now apparently there's
(35:30):
a new foul oder they're dealing with, and it's coming
from a water treatment plant and it's ruining things. So
at the Aldell Porto Restaurant, which is in downtown Elizabeth.
They had been hoping for huge crowds during the World
Cup since it was playing nearby in the meadowlands, but
they said the smell was so bad that when people
would show up to the restaurant, they'd walk and leave.
(35:51):
We expected a lot of business from the World cub
but because of the smell was so unbearable that people
just couldn't sit outside on the patio. And the autobody
shop employed he's down the streets say they have not
been spared either. They say it's just hard to work
all day with this water treatment stench.
Speaker 14 (36:07):
In the end, it's horrible smell, the rotten eggs all
day long, every day and the plans down there, you know,
probably three blocks away and you can still get to.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Smell here now. City officials say that future its stench
is coming from the Edward P. Desher Secondary Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Imagine having you you're named after a wastewater treatment facility,
but okay. It is owned and operated by Essex and
Union Counties. It serves several communities. The city of Elizabeth
(36:36):
is one of its tenants, and the mayor and Elizabeth says,
you know, he's reached out to these people, and he said,
you got to fix this. It stinks in town. You're
ruining business.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
Here's the mayor, I would describe to smell as if
you were sitting in your own toilet and decided to
put your head in it.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
No, that sounds nice, The mayor says, now he's ready
to take legal action, and he if he can legally,
he'll levy substantial daily fines against this wastewater treatment till
the stink goes away.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
The order that has been emanating over the past couple
of months has been the strongest it's ever been in
the history of our city. The Joint Meeting has not
done what is necessary to control the orders. For the
