The Queens Night Market is set to wrap up its 2024 season with a Halloween-themed finale on Saturday, Oct. 26.

Police from the 112th Precinct in Forest Hills and Transit District 20 are looking for a suspect who weaponized a skateboard to bludgeon an E train rider last month.

The attack went down during the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 16, as the 36-year-old victim was sitting on a southbound E approaching the Forest Hills–71st Avenue station at around 3 a.m. when a stranger approached. The intruder attempted to remove property from the victim’s pocket. The targeted rider began to record the older man with his cell phone. The stranger grabbed a skateboard from another rider and smashed the victim in his head, police said Tuesday.

Flushing resident Haiyan Deng was sentenced in Queens Supreme Court on Wednesday to 27 years in prison for killing a man in her apartment and a related burglary in September 2021.

Deng, 34, of 39th Avenue, pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter in the first degree and burglary after first responders found 26-year-old Justin Li in her bed with a fatal gunshot wound to his head.
