The New York Federation of Taxi Drivers (NYSFTD) held a press conference in The Bronx on Wednesday, Nov. 26, to call for justice for a cab driver who was critically injured in an early morning stabbing in The Bronx and to announce a $5,000 reward for information on the perpetrator.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking at 90 Lincoln Avenue in the Mott Haven section of The Bronx, Fernando Mateo, spokesperson for NYSFTD said the \u201csavage attack\u201d had sparked a citywide manhunt.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said taxi driver Osei Kusi was stabbed multiple times and left for dead near Randall Avenue and White Plains Road in the Castle Hill section of the borough early on Wednesday morning and is in critical condition at Jacobi Hospital, where he is undergoing emergency surgery.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said the NYPD has Kusi\u2019s vehicle and is working to download video that may identify the attacker. Mateo said NYSFTD members were at Jacobi on Wednesday monitoring the situation, and more details on Kusi\u2019s condition and what provoked the attack would be provided in due course.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a vicious attack on a hardworking family man,\u201d Steven Rivera, president of NYSTD, said. \u201cWe need the public\u2019s help to catch whoever did this.\u201d Mateo added, \u201cThis was an attempted murder and a danger to every New Yorker. Someone out there knows something and must come forward.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is urged to contact NYPD detectives, Crime Stoppers at 800 577 TIPS, or NYSFTD at (718) 559 0216.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By S\u00cdLE MOLONEY \u00a0 OSEI KUSI, A taxi driver was critically wounded in an early morning stabbing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-53447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
