The video captures a disturbing sequence: A woman can be seen walking along a sidewalk in the Bronx on an early May morning, when a man, his face covered, approaches from behind. The scenes captured on the video sowed fear among many residents of the South Bronx. On Saturday, the police said they had arrested a man — Kashaan Parks, 39, also of the Bronx — in connection with the assault. Parks had been arrested two other times: Once in 2018 for domestic assault, and in 2013 for theft of service in the transit system. The woman, who was not named, went to Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx after the attack.

CNN —Highland winds lashing his face, architect Jim Hartsell was a long way from his home in Alabama. Alone, utterly drained both physically and emotionally, he was about to do something he had never done before — abandon a round at a Scottish golf course. Three months earlier, in May 2021, Jordan Hartsell had died of an accidental drug overdose. If there were any answers, he hoped he would find them on a trip to his spiritual home, Scotland. Senders vary from those who have suffered a similar loss, to those chasing travel tips for Scotland, and Hartsell welcomes them all.

He was tied for 20th, chasing Lucas Herbert, the leader after a 6-under 63. Herbert had 10 birdies — seven over his final nine holes — to overcome an early bogey. 59 in the world, needed a big spark after entering the FedEx Fall 152nd in points. The 63 wass two shots shy of the tournament course record of 61 shared by seven players, most recently Ricky Barnes in 2018. “Just one bad swing that led to a double and then a bad wedge shot that was quite frustrating,” Homa said.
