investigators need your help to find two people who robbed a woman in brooklyn. the man and woman in this video pushed a 60-year-old woman to the ground and stole her purse. it happened last week in flatbush. and take a look at these surveillance photos. investigators say this woman attacked a 70-year-old cab driver in hells kitchen. the woman asked to be taken to times square but became upset when the driver turned on the meter. that's when she allegedly beat the driver and then jumped out of the cab. an attack on a bus driver also caught on tape. you can see the man angrily punching the 62-year-old driver. this attack happened on the v-8 bus in east flatbush. the driver kept doing his job. he finished his route. he says he wasn't badly hurt. but police want to find that suspect anyway. we're learning that the suspect in that machete attack

restaurant was known to the fbi. agents say that mohammed barry expressed extremist views but was not under surveillance. the victims are all expected to recover. they are looking at this as a possible lone wolf terror attack. decision 2016 and the gop presidential candidates, they're going to square off in another debate tonight in south carolina. and things are getting ugly again between donald trump and ted cruz. well, both candidates are campaigning for the evangelical vote. trump is also threatening to sue the senator for not being a natural born citizen. and it didn't take long for cruz to fire back. >> well, i will say there's more than a little irony in him calling anyone nasty. given the amazing torrent of insults and vulgarities that

next week on tuesday, scheduled. it's been five decades since the last commercial passenger flight between the united states and that communist nation. right now we're going to head over to the office of emergency management in brooklyn where the mayor is giving an update on how the city is dealing with the cold weather conditions. let's listen in. >> -- deputy mayor richard buri, our commissioner joe esposito, fire commissioner dan nigro. we have from housing preservation and development first deputy commissioner john shaknai. chair of housing authority and michael kelly. our human resources administration commissioner steve banks, commissioner donna perato. and deputy commissioner timothy hogan. as you can see, all city

working together to address this challenge. . now we're headed into the coldest part of the forecast now. the coldest temperatures and windchills we've seen in the last 20 years. i want to emphasize to all new yorkers how serious this situation is and how much people should change their habits over the next 24 to 48 hours. this must be taken seriously. it's not business as usual. again, some of the coldest temperatures and windchills we've seen in the last 20 years. right now temperatures are at 19 degrees but when you add windchills, it feels like negative 2 right now here in new york city. wind is a key factor here. we're expecting sustained winds of 25 to 30 miles per hour. with gusts as high as 50 miles

on top of the extreme cold, we have wind that will affect everyone who's outside. not only in terms of making colder, but also making it hard to get around. that's another good reason why everyone should stay indoors to the maximum extent possible. it says the warmer temperatures that we talked about yesterday have now passed. everything we're going to see in the next 24 hours will just get colder and colder. again, right now it feels like negative 2, but it will get worse. temperatures will continue to plummet today. and with windchill values, we expect the result to be a negative 25 degree reading overnight. so tonight going into sunday as low as negative 25 degrees. 25 below zero. in terms of what it will really feel like. so important to take it

if for any reason you have to go out, go out for as little time as possible. bundle up. lots of layers. do not have skin exposed. these are very tough conditions especially for people who are more vulnerable. dangerous conditions for seniors, for infants, for people who have diseases and conditions that could already compromise health like cardiovascular situations and lung conditions. you want to be very careful. we also want to emphasize anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not recognize just how dangerous these conditions are. people really need to look out for their friends and make sure people do not stay outside i these conditions. wear extra clothing, do all the common sense things to protect yourself. national weather service has moved up its windchill advisory to 1:00 today. that will continue through noon

as we know, sometimes the weather forecast changes, so we have to be ready for that cold to continue. just because it's right now advised to end at noon tomorrow doesn't mean that's what will happen. it may go longer. certainly we know starting at 1:00 today and going through noon sunday at minimum, this windchill advisory is in effect. temperatures on sunday will remain in the low to mid-teens. and we are not forecast to get above the freezing mark before mid-afternoon or late afternoon on monday. now, an additional factor, we're expecting some light snow on monday morning. again, we watched the weather service. they change frequently because the weather changes. so we're going to keep updating people regularly. at this moment we're expecting only one or two inches of accumulation on monday. we do not expect more than that. at some point that will change into a wintry mix and then

rain through the course of the day monday. but that, again, could change. we'll keep you updated. we do expect some minor coastal flooding tuesday morning. but it should be less than what we experienced last week. so we're going to keep you updated on that as well. all new york city residents should be monitoring regularly to look for these changes and adjustments you have to make. now, our code blue plan remains in effect. we've been conducting intensive outreach all over the city. encouraging anyone who is on the streets, living on our streets to come in the shelter. last night our homeless outreach teams helped 62 people come in from the cold. in addition, 207 individuals walked in to our health and hospital facilities to escape the cold. so combined almost 270 people came in. want to remind all new yorkers to please look out for your

check in on your neighbors. particularly our senior citizens or anyone with health problems or disabilities. also, again, stay in touch with your friends, family. make sure everyone knows about the precautions they should take. and another reminder, bring your pets inside. this is not a situation where pets should be outside for prolonged periods of time. if you do not have heat or hot water, call 311 immediately. very important point. we've really been trying to get this point across intensely. if you do not have heat or hot water, call 311 immediately. want to give an update on our housing authority which has at this point, all residents have heat. the housing authority is prepared, weatherized and prepared all 2,000 boilers in our developments. we have 24-hour response teams in place.

of our housing and preservation development. we have added 50 staff for duty this weekend. now 150 are on duty to respond to heat and hot water complaints. overnight we received 388 complaints. although a number of those may be duplicates. people calling from the same building. but hpd is ready to respond to any and all complaints. that's the basic update. i want to remind people, we have another challenge that comes in the cold weather which is people have a lack of heat in their home trying to improvise. they open up their stove. they use other types of informal sources to heat their home. that can be very dangerous. the better solution is to call us so we can get your heat restored or go some place with friends and family where the heat is working.

like fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. so we want to remind new yorkers, most fires occur in the winter months for this very reason. so please do not improvise when it comes to heat for your home. and make sure that your smoke detecters and carbon monoxide detecters are working. one other point, because of these extreme winds that we're having, yesterday we ordered all of the cranes in the city, construction cranes to be secured and out of operation. that was accomplished late yesterday. so none of our construction cranes will be operational today given these winds. a couple of words in spanish before we take your questions. [ speaking spanish ] >> that a mayor bill de blasio stating what is obvious but bears repeating, for sure.

temperatures we have seen here in new york city in about 20 years. and people should take this cold seriously. dress obviously in layers, no exposed skin, and please check on your neighbors, the homeless, and bring your pets indoors. >> this is not business as usual. and while not as visually stunning as a blizzard we saw a couple weeks ago, in many ways this weather situation poses many dangers to people out there. obviously citizens who don't have a place to go. calling for people to reach out to the city if you see homeless out there today. and on a personal note for my firefighter dad with fdny, he went to many fires over the years where people use the space heaters, gets too close to the blankets. everyone trying to stay warm but you have to be careful. we'll have more coming up on today in new york including our continuing coverage of this

a walk along the brooklyn bridge. an unwise idea today. it is 21 degrees and the

of this whole weather story that's taking shape. >> yeah. we've seen 21 degrees many times this winter so far. it's not that bad. but the winds are still beginning to pick up. they're going to get bad after lunchtime. that's when things start to go downhill and the windchill becomes dangerous. that's when the advisories and warnings go into effect at 1:00 today. that gives an idea it's when it's most dangerous to be outside. if you have to do last-minute preps and get food shopping done. you still have a relatively safe time to do that between now and 1:00 p.m. although it goes downhill in a hurry especially once the sun goes down later tonight. look at the freezing spray advisory. we don't normally see this. areas along the immediate shore if you have vessels, even cars parked right along the water. when the waves break, they could freeze and accumulate causing a coating of ice to form. watch out that for coastal spots. showing the wind picking up throughout the day. brutally cold, dangerously cold. and record low temperatures. it could be the coldest

we'll show you that in just a minute. here's a look at storm tracker. we have the showers we're tracking. a brief snow squall with reduced visibility. be careful and watch out for some slick spots. also suffolk county, you're seeing some snow. just starting to get uncomfortable. feels like zero in newburgh. it's going to get much worse than this hour by hour. talking about breaking a record for valentine's day, that arctic air settles over the region into tomorrow morning. that's when the actual temperature is forecast to drop to 2 degrees above zero in central park. the record for a valentine's day? 2 degrees. that was back in 1916. so we're going for the coldest valentine's day in a hundred years. probably going to tie it, maybe we may even break it. you can see this is what it feels like around 5:00 today. windchill values dropping below zero in the city and between 10 and 20 below north and west of town. this is dinner time. it starts to get very dangerous out there.

in places like sullivan county. even in danbury. then the worst of it overnight tonight. this is 3:00 a.m. as you're waking up tomorrow morning, not much better. winds still howling and we have windchills between 15 and 30 below out towards the hamptons as well and monticello. it does ease up by tomorrow lunchtime. and it finally gets warmer with windchills back above zero. and we coast from there. starting sunday night, the winds are much lighter so it feels much better. not as dangerous. we are tracking that wintry mix monday afternoon changing over to rain. and look at that temperature swing. from 2 overnight tonight to 50 by tuesday. that's almost a 50-degree temperature swing over the next few days. you want to stay up to date with the news 4 new york app. scroll down and select the weather tab. see the latest forecast, use our

who can deny that? strawberries. it's the love fruit. >> call me a romantic. when i look at strawberries, i see a heart. now, we usually do strawberries early in the season. like in december we always talk about them. this year why not? because you all -- all you good shoppers out there know you've been in the supermarket, your green grocers store. berries have been high. >> what's up with that? >> florida is a big producer of strawberries. october and november, a lot of heat in florida caused the plants to come on very quickly. and it caused the plants to get bigger. as they got bigger, they produced less fruit on it. then we had cool weather in florida. you remember around christmastime, it was warmer here. >> right. >> cool weather in florida. what that did was it stopped the fruit from turning red. now, florida's not the only producer. we have producers from different places. so mexico and california, too, very cold weather. very cold weather. in 65 years in the produce

all three, you know, sections got really bad weather. supply and demand equals price. that's what happened. but help is on the way. because it's getting better. the weather is getting better. so you're going to have it. let's go. let's talk quickly about them. when picking strawberries, what you see is what you get. they're always in clear containers. turn them over. make sure. a strawberry will never get riper once it's picked. what we did today -- oh and another thing with strawberries. once you get them home, don't do anything to them. ready to use them. just take them in these containers, stick them in the refrigerator and that way they'll stay really, really good. >> okay. >> you got to remember, though, you want to use them within three to five days of the time you purchase them because it takes six to ten days for them to get here. what we did today because it's valentine's day. what my dear wife did was she made chocolate covered

and she made these chocolate cups. >> edible cups. >> you see those on the end there? >> uh-huh. >> that's what we call stem berpryes. a lot of people use them during this time of year. they have the stem on them. they cost more because they -- and they're bigger. but what happens is you got to cut them back. that's why you have the stem on them. >> we don't eat the stem, why do they cost more? >> it costs more to pick them. when you get the strawberries home, put them in the refrigerator. and folks, listen. strawberries are going to be a lot cheaper now. and listen, what will be greater than -- >> isn't this great? you can make a beautiful little -- you know, strawberry. you can dump them in chocolate. they're out, they're available. >> speaking of love, you're going to be sharing the love today? >> yeah, i'm going to be at lorden taylor and garden state

>> the mall. >> in new jersey from 12:00 to 3:00 today. >> yes. come share some love. >> meet and greet. i'll be signing my books and we're going to give a percentage of the profits away to the children's fund. >> bless your heart, pete. and happy valentine's day to you. >> and to my love betty. >> mine too.

you're driving out there, you need to be careful. mount olive, chester, mendham, new jersey. this could quickly drop visibility. as you get closer to the city now in blaks like bloomfield. you're also seeing that snow shower moving in. and then moving out. we've seen some light snow in suffolk county. here's an interesting squall right around brookhaven. you're tracking this snow causing reduced visibility on the roads. now, through the evening, this is when the windchills are dangerous. around 7:00 it feels like 14 below. and that trend continues. windchills dropping to near 20 below by 11:00 this evening. windy and dangerous cold outside. again, a great weekend to spend indoors. we'll look at the seven-day forecast coming up. and we have a winter storm heading our way in just a few. >> all right. thank you. as the temperatures drop and that wind picks up, officials urging people to stay indoors if you can. >> ray villeda joins us from downtown brooklyn with more. ray?

again, not a lot of snow here. but when it comes, it could have high intensity, low visibility into jersey city. watch out for that if you have to drive out there. you could have that slick spots and visibility. we're tracking the winds. already gusting between 30 and 40 miles per hour. this is just the beginning. we could see gusts up to 50. the winds are really ramping up now. they'll continue to do so as the temperatures are dropping through the afternoon. this is what it feels like right now. seeing windchills at 15 below. most of us still in the single digit range. this is the warmest you'll see for another 24 hours or so. this is what it feels like later on this afternoon. everyone's below zero by this time. as cold as 25 below in monticello. howling temperatures in the single digits. later on tonight, temperatures still dropping below zero. and the windchills up to 30 below in monticello. probably want to cook inside

stay safe. 16 below in north port. windchills even colder around midnight, 1:00 a.m. this is the heart of the cold here. and as you're waking up tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m. sunday. still in the worst part of the cold here. the most dangerous time, 16 below in asbury park. windchills in the 30 below range deep into the hudson valley. temperatures dropping throughout the day today. it is certainly a dangerous day to be outside. the winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour at times and there's the potential record low. 2 degrees. the actual temperature, not the windchills, in central park. that would be a hundred-year record we're going to tie or break for valentine's day. we are tracking a winter storm, that's monday afternoon into tuesday. looks like it's going to start out as some snow, maybe a mixing with changing over to rain. then heavy rain and even flooding a possibility on tuesday with a high temperature of 50 degrees. it's going to be mild. of course you want to stay
