An 18-year-old rider has died after a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park bolted, throwing passengers and topppling the carriage. The driver was reportedly photographed away from the horse; the incident has sparked renewed calls for safety reforms and a potential ban on horse-drawn carriages in the park.
A 63-year-old man has reportedly self-immolated with a lighter accelerant in the lobby of 315 Hudson St., a building that houses Google and NYPD Internal Affairs. He has been hospitalized in stable condition. Authorities are investigating the motive and any connection to a targeted tenant. Google says it is cooperating with authorities as first responders respond to the incident.
