Well, Katie and Joe, people are telling us they are in shock disbelief and fear about what NASA police say was the violent attack that unfolded here.

LIFORECAST

And the radar is all quiet behind you j but we're already starting to see the clouds roll in. Still pretty nice evening. We're expecting fifties all the way through the rest of it. And then we drop it into the forties when the sun sets pretty good deal for December. But we do have a flood watch and a high wind watch in effect across the island. Now, both of them go in effect for tomorrow. We're expecting 2 to 3 inches of rain. So that's your flood watch. It could bring flooding in the afternoon and in the overnight and gusts up to 45 you see, especially parts of eastern Nassau into Suffolk at the worst and it looks like the timing here gonna be six pm to midnight. That's what I'm looking at for the squall line to pass through and deliver some potential power outages. So let's bring you right to Sunday in the morning time. Not too bad. We have stray showers, not a bad breakfast or lunch, but then right around noonish, we're gonna start seeing some downpours and it's an on and off rain at that point. We're also looking at wind which starts to pick up to the 30 mile per hour range. Now, these are gusts and a gust is a quick little burst of wind as opposed to sustained winds, which is an average kind of wind speed. So we're seeing quick little bursts of 40 MPH that could knock a tree branch down or two around 67 o'clock, the wind is gonna be coming in with some really heavy rain around 1011 at night into midnight one o'clock or so. This latest model is actually keeping the rain around for the early Monday morning commuters and then things clear out by about 78 o'clock in the morning. So a little bit better there. So the worst of the rain gonna be with a flooding risk at 5 to 2 a.m. and then we see wind at its worst right around midnight. Things look good for the rest of the work week though. It's gonna be chilly.

New surveillance video shows assault, robbery incident at East Hills gas station

DHGASSTATIONKRISTAFOLO10P_2023-09-06-22-21-11

Have new surveillance video of a story we first told you about last night, a woman attacked at a popular gas station in East Hills News, 12 crime reporter Kristen mcnally spoke with an employee who says he saw this all happen. They had her pin to the floor and just an extremely frightening afternoon at the mobile gas station when a woman was attacked by three people. According to police, it was scary. Police say the woman was hit, kicked, punched and had her necklace ripped off her neck. She had a few inflicted wounds, she was bleeding. Say it all started when the victim asked a woman in a U haul to move up so she could get to a gas pump. The victim is seen in this surveillance video pulling her car in front of the U haul and walking over to the van. Police say a woman then got out of the U haul and knocked the 36 year old victim to the ground immediately after two men got out of the van and they too attacked her. You can hear in this cell phone video, the alleged Attackers yelling at the victim to quote say please. That's usually not something that I see in this area by any means. So it is alarming to see that all three of the alleged Attackers hopped in the U haul and left once the employees of the gas station called police, according to a person who works there, you never know what other people's situations are. But either way that doesn't warrant the actions that happened. That's wild. I've come to this gas station since I was able to drive, nothing's ever happened. The owner of the mobile gas station tells us that the U haul van was parked at the pump for about 15 minutes and the occupants were never filling up on gas in that time. One employee who witnessed it felt terrible for the woman who was attacked it. I wouldn't like to see this and that was our Kristen mcnally reporting right now. No arrests have been made in that attack. If you have any information, police say they want you to call them.
