Odyssey Head, 27, was taken into custody Monday and initially charged with arson, burglary, criminal mischief and criminal trespass for allegedly setting a fire in an apartment building in the Flatbush Gardens complex on New York Avenue on Sunday morning, officials said. Police said no one was injured during that incident and they are investigating if Head had any connection to the building.

Brooklyn, NY - A 64-year-old MTA employee was slashed in the neck late Monday night inside the Nostrand Avenue subway station, sparking a police manhunt for the suspect who fled into the darkness. The attack happened around 10:30 p.m., when the on-duty transit worker was standing on the roadbed of the southbound tunnel. An unidentified man approached and struck without warning, cutting the victim on the left side of his neck with an unknown object before running off on foot in an unknown direction.

"It's unacceptable. It's really insane to me how they could just release somebody after they did that,"
