OUTGOING NYPD POLICE COMMISSIONER BRATTON"S MOTORCADE LEAVES FROM A MEAT CLEAVER ATTACK ON COPS.
NEW YORK Police chased a man wielding a meat cleaver through midtown Manhattan Thursday, then shot him on a crowded street after he hacked the face of an off-duty police detective who tried to tackle him, authorities said.
The man with the knife was shot at least twice and was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, police said. The detective, who had been heading home in street clothes when he intervened in the chase, was being treated at the hospital for a six-inch gash from his temple to his jaw.
"I want to commend them on their bravery," Police Commissioner William Bratton said of the officers involved.
Police fired 18 shots at the man, but Bratton, who is retiring Friday, said he believed officers acted appropriately.
"We have a character running down the street, waving a cleaver," he said.
The chase began on Broadway and ended about a block from Macy"s department store and Madison Square Garden, just as rush hour was getting underway.
The confrontation started, police said, when two uniformed officers encountered the man trying to remove an immobilizing boot from a parked vehicle.
Police said the suspect, Akram Joudeh, 32, had a previous address in Queens but appeared to have been living in the car.
After the officers approached, Joudeh pulled an 11-inch knife and ran, police said. A growing group of officers chased him, and at one point shot him with a Taser, with no apparent effect.
A bystander, Jonathan Schneier, said when he left work to get coffee he saw a balding man holding a cleaver, surrounded by a small group of officers yelling at him to drop the knife.
"I give credit to the police officers. They gave him many opportunities," Schneier said. He said the man with the knife "did not look very stable."
The man turned and ran, Schneier said.
Officers chased him down the street. An off-duty police detective tried to tackle the man, who lashed out with the knife, said the department"s top chief, James O"Neill. That"s when officers opened fire, he said.
"They shot until the threat was stopped," said O"Neill, who is succeeding Bratton as commissioner.
Corey Melton, a photographer, was checking his phone on the street corner when he heard "a series of gunshots go off."
Photos he took show a gray, four-door sedan with bullet holes in the windshield. His photos also show a man sitting on the ground handcuffed behind the car.
Officials said Joudeh has been arrested more than a dozen times in recent years, mostly for minor crimes, but didn"t provide details.
Attempts to locate any relatives Joudeh might have in New York were not immediately successful. It is likely to be many hours, if not days, before a lawyer is appointed to represent him.
2016 Parker 425 - Robby Gordon Full Qualifying Lap
Chase Media Day in Chicago was supposed to be a happy affair, with 16 drivers talking about their chances at winning the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. But for six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, it was a gut-wrenching affair.
Johnson, a native of Southern California, was visibly distraught Thursday afternoon, when talked about the death of Robert Baja Bob Gordon, 68, and Gordons wife, Sharon, 57, who died Wednesday afternoon in Orange, Calif.
Police are investigating the case as a possible murder-suicide or double suicide.
Bob Gordon was the father of racer Robby Gordon, and Johnson has been a family friend of the Gordons for more than two decades.
Johnson said he texted Robby and Robbys sister Beccy to offer his condolences.
Beccy Gordon, the wife of 2014 Indianapolis 500 winner Ryan Hunter-Reay, gave birth to a boy Wednesday.
His dad gave me my first ride in an off-road buggy, said Johnson of Robby. He said, My dad was so proud of you. He used to always brag that you used to ride with him in the desert cars.
But he didnt go into anything emotionally. He said his dad was a big fan and used to brag about me, Johnson said. It made me smile a little bit, but its still a complete and utter shock.
And on a profoundly sad day, Johnson summoned up a funny memory of riding with Bob Gordon in the Baja 500 off-road race in the early 1990s.
I didnt know I had a motion sickness problem riding in a car, Johnson said. And I rode in the Baja 500 and puked, literally, for 499 miles. My dad was in one of the pit stops and I was stopped and just covered in vomit. Rags all over the inside of the car with me. He was trying to pull me out, but I wanted to race so bad I didnt care how bad I felt Im staying in this race car Im not getting out. I made the race but it wasnt pretty.

Radioverslag: Vilhena schiet Feyenoord naar de 1-0 zege op Manchester United
A former Manchester United steward has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years for the Islamic State-inspired murder of a gentle, well-respected former imam in Rochdale.
Mohammed Syeedy, 21, was found guilty of helping to kill Jalal Uddin because the 71-year-old practised a form of Islamic spiritual healing considered to be black magic by some extremists.
On hearing the jurys verdict, Syeedy put his head in his hands and shook it in disbelief. In the public gallery, his family gasped and sobbed.
Members of Uddins family, who travelled from Bangladesh to attend the three-week trial, hugged and cried after Syeedy was led away.
The murder has alarmed counter-terrorism experts, who fear that homegrown extremists are increasingly targeting fellow Muslims whom they view as heretics.
Uddin was bludgeoned to death with a hammer on his way home from a mosque in Rochdale on 18 February. He was attacked with repeated, forceful blows from behind after having been under surveillance by his killers for months, the trial at Manchester crown court was told.

The judge, Sir David Maddison, said he did not believe the intention was to kill Uddin, but to cause extremely grave and permanently disabling harm so that he was unable to practise Islamic healing ever again.
Syeedy played an absolutely integral part in the murder, the judge said, describing the killing as a carefully planned, premeditated attack on a vulnerable victim.
Describing Uddin as gentle, well-respected, the judge said the brutal killing was a hate crime but did not match the sentencing threshold of a religiously motivated murder, which carries a minimum term of 30 years imprisonment.
It seems to me that this was a case of two members of the Muslim faith killing another member of the Muslim faith solely because they disapproved of a particular practice carried out by that person, Maddison said.
Jurors were told that Syeedy and his alleged accomplice, Mohammed Abdul Kadir, stalked Uddin around the streets of Rochdale before Kadir launched the attack on the older man in a childrens playground.
Syeedy, the getaway driver, denied knowing about the murder plot.
Kadir, a former John Lewis call centre worker, was not on trial because he fled to Istanbul three days after the murder. Counter-terrorism detectives are hunting for the 24-year-old, but believe he may have crossed the border into Syria to join Isis.
Syeedy and Kadir, from Rochdale and Oldham respectively, developed a hatred of Uddin last summer after discovering he practised a form of Islamic healing called taweez, the court was told.
Uddin moved to Rochdale 15 years ago from Bangladesh. The former imam was well known in the area for his use of healing amulets to ward off ill health and protect people from evil spirits.
Uddins friends warned that the killing had left an open wound in Rochdales Muslim community, as his family paid tribute to a greatly respected man, a caring and loving soul.
Uddins relatives said they had been left empty by his murder in a statement released by police.
We came to court to seek answers from Mohammed Hassan Syeedy. He has shown no remorse or sympathy towards Jalal or his family, as indicative of his attitude and demeanour throughout the last four weeks, the family said.
Although Jalal was a Muslim who peacefully practised his faith, he had a love and respect for all religions, cultures and creeds, and the fact that he was murdered by someone inspired by Isil shows the true nature and barbarity of this organisation and those who serve it.
In a victim impact statement read to court, one of Uddins seven children, Sala al-Arif, said his father told him two days before he died that he planned later this year to return to Bangladesh for the first time in 15 years to see his wife, children and grandchildren.
Instead, he said, his relatives have been left with an everlasting void. Al-Arif said that when he visited his fathers body in the mortuary he was denied the most basic human right to kiss his fathers face because of the horrific injuries he had suffered.
Describing his father as a devout pacifist who showed nothing but love to anyone he came across, Al-Arif said Uddins relatives had been left without answers as to why he was targeted: I cannot begin to understand why anyone would want to murder him. This is the ultimate question for me and my family: why was my father murdered?
Jurors were told that Syeedy and Kadir, who were not known to the police, believed Uddins use of taweez was black magic and that he deserved to be killed.
Uddin, known as the Qari Saab by his followers for his deep understanding of the Quran, was mocked as a magician by Syeedy and his friends, who nicknamed him Voldemort after the evil wizard in the Harry Potter books.
Six months before the murder, Syeedy and his friends destroyed Uddins notes and books on taweez after stealing them from their mosque. They then started monitoring Uddins whereabouts, taking covert pictures of him in the street, as they plotted to have the community leader deported by immigration services.
But that plan was abandoned after a photograph emerged of Uddin with the Rochdale MP, Simon Danczuk, outside the Jalalia mosque in December last year. One of Syeedys friends shared the photograph and commented: Oh c**p ... voldermort nvr gna b busted by immigration now.
When detectives arrested Syeedy five days after the murder, they found gruesome footage on his phone of Uddin dying, along with reams of Isis propaganda.
Jurors were shown photographs of Syeedy holding an Isis-style flag outside the Jalalia mosque. In another image, he wore a stabproof vest outside the mosque.
Other photographs showed Syeedy and two people holding a jihadi flag over a road sign in Rochdale that had been altered to read: War zone.
Detectives also found a black, Isis-style baseball cap, arm patches and a flag in Syeedys home, where he lived with his mother, younger sister and younger brother.
Paul Greaney QC, prosecuting, told the court that Syeedy had been drawn in by Isis propaganda surrounding the Syrian war over a period of three years.
In 2013, he travelled to Syria on a medical aid convoy at around the same time that Alan Henning, the murdered Salford taxi driver, went on a similar Rochdale to Syria trip, the trial heard.
Syeedy told the court he was friendly with Henning and was disgusted when he heard that the 47-year-old had been beheaded by an Isis militant who was revealed last year to be Londoner Mohammed Emwazi.
Det Ch Supt Tony Mole, head of the north-west counterterrorism unit, said: This has been a long and delicate investigation, with detectives working meticulously to establish exactly what happened to Jalal and I want to thank them for their work.
I would also like to thank the local community for the patience and support they have shown us. Their assistance and understanding has been vital and they have been a credit to Rochdale.
I hope the outcome here today will bring some closure to Jalals family and help them continue to rebuild their lives following their tragic loss.
One of Uddins friends, Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation charity, urged the Rochdale community to come together or we may see such tragedies again.
He added: It is beyond doubt that these young minds are being brainwashed and groomed online, they have no engagement or involvement with any of the mosques and these institutions are failing young Muslims.
Giving evidence, Syeedy denied knowing anything about Uddins murder, but admitted he was with Kadir before and after the attack.
He said he never suspected that his friend, whom he knew was an Isis sympathiser, had killed Uddin, even though the former imam was found dead moments after Kadir left the playground.
Syeedy, an electrical engineering student who dropped out of university, denied being an Isis supporter and described the groups actions as completely wrong.
He told jurors he did not agree with Uddins use of taweez because it was dangerous to meddle with the supernatural world, but that it was up to G*d to deliver the punishment. This is my country, I abide by the laws, he told the jury.
Ator Domingos Montagner, de "Velho Chico" morre aos 54 anos afogado no rio são francisco
While taking a break from shooting, the 54-year-old went for a swim in the Sao Francisco River in western Brazil but never came up again, according to the Globo TV network, which owns the television program.
He was found dead close to the Xingo hydroelectric power plant, trapped in rocks about 30 meters (100 feet) underwater, the Brazilian network said.
Co-star Camila Pitanga, who was with Montagner at the time, alerted search and rescue teams, including the police, fire department and local fishermen.
Shortly before, Montagner recorded a heartfelt video with his co-stars.
"Our final journey to film "Velho Chico," " he says to the camera, hugging Pitanga and actor Gabriel Leone. "Ending this wonderful epic full of love, emotion, affection, friendship. What a family!"
The other actors then shout "Family!" in the video shot by Globo.
Devastated fans
Fans of the actor took to Twitter to share their sadness at his passing.
"Go in peace Domingos, may Jesus console your family and may you be remembered forever for your art," Gaby Amarantos said.
"A lot of strength and peace for the Family of Domingos," said Thiago Soares, a dancer with London"s Royal Ballet, in an Instagram photo of the two together.
A career on stage
The Sao Paolo-born actor began his career in the circus and theater before moving into television, with some appearances in film.
One of Montagner"s most memorable roles was as Paulo Alberto Ventura, president of Brazil, in the 2012 miniseries "O Brado Retumbante" for which he won a Contigo best actor award.
The actor is survived by his wife, Luciana Lima, and three children.
