Be on the lookout. In other grim news, police are looking for a man who pushed a train operator onto subway tracks, NY1 reports. The motorman was seriously injured. His attacker is about 35-years-old, clean-shaven, about 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds.
Ford's flub. The Taxi and Limousine Commission head honcho was featured in an on-line Ford commercial, touting the company's hybrid vehicles. The mayor announced earlier this year that all taxis woud be hybrid by 2012, and the commercial could be seen as a conflict of interest, the Daily News reports. Matthew Daus, the TLC commissioner, said he was told he was being interviewed for a documentary. Ford apologized for the "mistake."
