The New York City Crime Report with Pat Dixon

A man feeds rat poison to his kids to get revenge on his wife, who had started seeing another man.

A man beats up a woman for not saying "thank you" when he opens a door for her.

Much more, with Chris Laker, from the low point.

A pleasure to talk about crime with former New York Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller.

Mandy can be heard on her own podcast "News Whore" on Riotcast.com.

Joe Lozito was riding the 3 train to work when a guy suddenly stabbed him in the face. It turned out the guy who stabbed him was a spree killer who was wanted for 4 murders, and every cop in the NYPD was on high alert.

Joe was able to subdue the mad killer. Two uniformed cops stood by the whole time and did nothing to intervene. Joe was stabbed 7 times in his struggle with Gelman, and cops were painfully slow to secure medical attention after it was over. Joe nearly died.

All in all, it was an appalling display of police work which nearly cost a husband and father of 2 his life.

A corrupt judge helped ensure that Joe's suit against the city wouldn't go forward. For saving an untold number of lives by taking down a killer when the police wouldn't, Joe never received so much as a thank you.

This podcast is dedicated to the Subway Hero: Joe Lozito.
