From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! In New York, crime never seems to take a holiday, even when the weather is damp and dreary. That being said, all this recent rain makes it tough in any rescue efforts.
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. Seven members of the NYPD were arrested Wednesday in connection with a prostitution and narcotics case dating back to 2015. The suspects -- three sergeants, two detectives and two officers -- were reportedly based in Queens and Brooklyn were believed to be providing protection for the operation of the prostitution and gambling ring in the same boroughs.
2. Firefighters working to free a trapped worker after a wall collapse in Brooklyn Wednesday said the operation has shifted from a rescue to a recovery. The incident happened at 714 39th Street in Sunset Park.
3. Over 3,000 low-level marijuana cases were thrown out this morning, at the request of Manhattan's top prosecutor.
