New board members were voted-in at the 102nd Precinct Community Council Meeting, held inside the One Stop Richmond Hill Community Center, on 110-08 Jamaica Ave., in Richmond Hill, on Tuesday, June 6.

Mayor Eric Adams tore into city Comptroller Brad Lander Thursday, criticizing the city’s chief bean counter for not traveling to Washington D.C. to push the feds to provide more migrant crisis support.

During the tirade, Hizzoner said Lander, who’s frequently criticized the mayor’s handling of the migrant crisis, should have already gone to the nation’s capital to advocate for the city to get more funding for the influx — especially since Lander oversees the city’s finances.

Police from the 102nd Precinct in Richmond Hill and Transit District 20 are looking for a man who assaulted a woman who was waiting for a J train in Woodhaven last month.

The victim refused medical attention, police said.
