Thursday, November 27, 2025, 14th Street PATH Station, NYC;
Port Authority Police were alerted to a man acting erratically on a PATH 14th Street Station platform in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood on Thanksgiving. The man was observed on Port Authority surveillance cameras possessing what appeared to be a butcher-type knife.
PAPD patrol and ESU units were dispatched while the PATH Control Center instructed trains to bypass the station.
Police Officers Bora Kagitcioglu (L) and Nicholas DeSalvo arrived on scene and were confronted with an unhinged 34-year-old man armed with a large knife and acting as if he was stabbing people.
The officers positioned themselves to protect the people in the station as the man continued acting out violent knife-wielding motions.
The standoff eventually ended as the man dropped knife and was taken into custody.
The officers successfully ended what could have resulted in a tragic incident without injuries to the public, the man or themselves. A textbook example of control and de-escalation of a dangerous engagement by Police Officers Kagitcioglu and DeSalvo.

Thursday, November 20, 2025, Port Authority Bus Terminal, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, NYC;
"While we can never do enough for our nation’s heroes, we can always do more." Those are the words of Gary Sinise, the Hollywood actor who played Lieutenant Dan in the 1994 Oscar winning film Forrest Gump, who visited the PAPD Bus Terminal Command with the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Mr. Sinise and foundation members provided and served lunch for Port Authority cops working the day and afternoon tours.
The Gary Sinise Foundation acknowledges the selfless and courageous work of first responders stating, "America's firefighters, police, and EMTs are rushing into danger when everyone is running out. Our darkest traumas - fires, injury, crisis, death - are faced by our incredible first responders every day."
Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti thanked Sinise for the foundation's generosity and the extraordinary work they do.
