8-Year-Old Girl Dies in College Point Fire Sparked by Lithium Battery in Scooter: FDNY

A Richmond Hill man was indicted by a Queens grand jury for the attempted murder of his 8-year-old stepson nearly a year ago.

Davien Reid Sr., 43, of 88th Avenue, was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court on Friday on the indictment charging him with attempted murder in the second degree, assault, witness intimidation and other related crimes for the brutal beating of his stepson after the youngster was accused of eating brownies intended for the defendant.

The FDNY battled a massive 3-alarm fire at an auto body shop in Willets Point on Monday afternoon.

The first call came at 4:17 p.m. after the fire broke out at 127-02 35th Ave., and arriving units observed heavy fire and smoke conditions. After the fire got into tires stored in the back of the shop, the FDNY signaled a second alarm as a plume of black noxious smoke could be seen for miles. It went to a third alarm, bringing 33 units and 138 firefighters and EMS personnel to the last vestige of the Iron Triangle, just east of Citi Field, bordered by Northern Boulevard.
