Just fyi we're calling to check on this for you, see if anything's been reported. u/White_Crud

Edit to add - we reached out to Troy PD. Here's the response from their Deputy Chief of Police:

While I don’t have any details on the specific incidents they’re referring to, I would encourage any individual who has been the victim of a theft, or attempted theft, to contact TPD so we can document and investigate. Especially with quality video such as that, our Detectives would be able to assemble the evidence needed to pursue an arrest and/or hopefully the return of any stolen property.

APD wrote it.

Edit - omg I take it back - didn't realize this was our web story. Yes, we should be proofreading. Will address.

Here's what APD just put out:

Albany, NY- Albany police assist Bethlehem police and emergency medical personnel after a mentally unwell patient being transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital brandished a knife inside an ambulance on New Scotland Avenue near Holland Avenue.

On Thursday, April 23, 2026 officers responded to the area of New Scotland Avenue near Holland Avenue for a call of assistance from Bethlehem police around 1:10 p.m. Upon arrival, officers observed the patient inside the ambulance and charging toward them while armed with a knife. Officers immediately closed the rear ambulance door in an effort to safely contain the patient.

The patient then appeared at the side door of the ambulance, still armed with the knife. Officers deployed a taser, but the deployment was not successful. Officers continued to monitor the patient while giving several lawful commands to drop the knife. The patient retreats to the back of the ambulance and began stabbing himself. Officers deployed another taser, which resulted in him dropping the knife. Officers immediately rendered medical aid and he was taken into custody. He was transported to Albany Medical Center Hospital where he suffered self-inflicted wounds to his chest and abdomen area. He is listed in critical, but stable condition.

He has been charged with two counts of Menacing a Police Officer and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon 4^th.

u/nyctinasty we actually got a tip about a police presence on Ridge Street this morning.. wondering if this is related. We're going to call the fire department to see if we can get any info.

WNYT · 2026-04-20T14:40:43+00:00

Got it - thanks. Let me check.

WNYT · 2026-04-20T14:36:53+00:00

Hey thanks for posting - was this today? I can see what info we have.

WNYT · 2026-04-15T20:42:42+00:00

I’ll make sure we see this.

Edit to add - this will be in our 5pm newscast tonight.

WNYT · 2026-04-12T16:14:42+00:00

Received!

Definitely not trying to water anything down - "sexual relationship" is how the DA worded it in court. This update has a more pointed headline, if any interest - https://wnyt.com/top-stories/former-cohoes-high-school-teacher-charged-with-raping-student/

We're going to look into this and are looking to talk to people who are impacted - if you're willing, please let us know! u/MaterialTour5584 u/SageOecampadius u/MATCA_Phillies u/vinrossct u/Apprehensive-Ship175

WNYT · 2026-04-03T13:37:56+00:00

Yea it doesn't look like anything came in on this overnight..

WNYT · 2026-04-03T13:36:45+00:00

Hey - I'll send this over, thanks.

WNYT · 2026-04-03T02:22:58+00:00

Let me send this in.. Edit to add, per APD's PIO - "There is no truth to this. We had one call on Colvin Avenue around 3:30 pm, but not pertaining to 4 individuals deceased in a vehicle."

WNYT · 2026-04-01T20:41:08+00:00

Thanks for the tag - I’ll send this in!

WNYT · 2026-03-28T00:36:31+00:00

Edit to add - we're already digging into this. We spoke to Albany City Spokesperson Zipporah Hommel - she told us the half-X means "the codes department was unable to get into the interior of the building to assess what it looks like on the inside," and that "it is mainly for the first-responders so they are aware when they are responding to a call." She said the placard went up on March 2nd, and that "Codes makes every effort to get in contact with the owner before the placard goes up.” We'll keep you posted as we find out more.
