Surveillance video capture a group of men attacking a man about to enter an iconic late-night Philadelphia cheesesteak place and robbing him.

Video shows the victim, wearing a suit, appearing to talk with a group of men outside Jim’s Steaks at 4th and South streets around 3:30 a.m. on May 7.

Originally two men wearing dark coats punch the man before a third man in a yellow jacket runs up and take a few shots. The attackers wound up grabbing the victim’s cellphone and gold necklace before running off, said Philadelphia Police.

Investigators asked anyone with information or who recognizes the attackers to contact Philadelphia Police.

Doctors and nurses, citing the potential of saving lives, plan to rally in favor of Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's soda tax plan.

Kenney claims that taxing sugary beverages 3 cents per ounce would raise $400 million for programs like universal Pre-K.

A man arrested for allegedly exposing his genitals and performing a lewd act on himself along the Schuylkill River Trail on Saturday was supposed to appear in court for a hearing on indecent exposure charges on Friday, court documents show.

Police arrested Salin Smalley, 34, of 18th Street near Tasker in Point Breeze, Saturday morning shortly after another man reported spotting a man -- later identified as Smalley -- lying along the trail with his pants down, partaking in a lewd act. Smalley faces charges of indecent exposure, open lewdness and harassment in the latest incident.

Court records show that Smalley was scheduled to appear in court Friday on the same charges in connection with a May 31, 2014 incident, but that his hearing was continued. Smalley's court docket entry for Friday reads, "defendant is active in treatment," and a number of entries in his court documents show that a judge ordered that the man undergo mental-health treatment. His next court date in that case is scheduled for June 27.

Smalley was convicted in 2003 of open lewdness for an incident that occurred May 30, 2003, court records show. For that charge, a judge sentenced the man to three to six months in jail.

He also has a history of other arrests for offenses including assault, theft and robbery, but most of his cases did not end in convictions, the records show.

In his latest case, Smalley was arraigned Sunday and is being held on $10,000 bail. He's scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on Wednesday.

On the morning of Smalley's arrest, a separate witness also reported seeing another man along the Schuylkill River Trail with his genitals exposed and performing a lewd act on himself, police said. That man remains on the loose.

The second man, whom a woman spotted in the area of John F. Kennedy Boulevard, fled onto JFK when she saw him, she told police. He's described as being a stocky Hispanic man in his late 30s to early 40s with black hair. He wore a gray jacket and carried a backpack.

The trail has been plagued with crimes in the past, including robberies and assaults. The incidents prompted a group of concerned citizens to band together to try to make the trail safer, installing mile markers so that when people call police for help, they're able to tell them their exact location.

Tipsters should contact police at 215-686-8477 or text a tip to PPD TIP (773847) with any information on the second man.

A nationwide recall of sunflower seeds has been expanded amid continuing concerns over listeria contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

SunOpta, a Minnesota supplier, voluntarily recalled sunflower seeds, snacks and salad toppers earlier this month after a spot check indicated some of the seeds may have been contaminated. The recall also includes some Planter’s brand products. 

The recall was expanded last week to include products made between Feb. 1, 2016 and April 21, 2016, when SunOpta halted production. No illnesses have been reported, according to the FDA.

Affected products were sent to distribution centers in more than a dozen states in March and April and may have been sold nationwide. Kroger and Pittsburgh-based Gold Eagle are among the retailers to sell them.

"SunOpta is committed to ensuring consumer safety and providing quality products and ingredients to customers. The Company has completed its root cause analysis and is working with food safety experts to implement corrective and preventative measures," the company said in a statement. "In an abundance of caution, SunOpta is voluntarily extending the period during which it is recalling a limited number of sunflower kernel products that have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes."

The full list of affected products is available on the FDA's website.

Four men, at least one of whom is armed with a gun, remained on the loose Monday after breaking into an apartment through a window in Philadelphia's Roxborough neighborhood and tying up a man overnight.

Police later Monday morning provided more details about the gunpoint home invasion, saying that the 50-year-old man inside the house, on Domino Lane near Ridge Avenue, awoke about 2:15 a.m. to someone tapping on his head.

When he opened his eyes, police said, the victim looked up to one of the masked robbers standing there, pointing a gun at him, plus three other men in the apartment. The gunman demanded, "Where's the money?" and threatened the man's 7-year-old son, police said.

The man then handed over an envelope with $2,000 in it, police said, but the robbers tied his arms behind his back anyway, stole two cellphones from the apartment, and fled.

Police said the victim managed to free himself and call 9-1-1. Neither he nor his son was injured.

Police described the robbers as a 6-foot-2 man with a heavy build who wore all black clothes, a black bandanna over his face and dark sunglasses. That man was armed at the time. Police described the other three as men with thin builds who all wore black clothing and had black bandannas over their faces.

Detectives are continuing to investigate.

Police in Delaware credited a K-9 officer for reuniting a missing 11-year-old boy with his family.

The boy ran away from his home along Highland Boulevard in the Sophia’s Place West community in New Castle after getting into a fight with his mom around 2:50 p.m. Sunday, said New Castle County Police.

Senior Corporal Chad Carter and his K-9 partner Ax arrived on the scene and quickly began searching for the child after Ax got the boy’s scent, said police.

Ax led investigators for about half a mile where they found the boy and returned him home safely, said police.

Archaeologists surveying the site of the new Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood uncovered about 82,000 artifacts linked to homes, taverns and print shops dating as far back as the 17th century.

Crews from Commonwealth Heritage Group, Inc. spent months uncovering items from the site — the size of a quarter of a city block — at 3rd and Chestnut streets, according to the museum. Many of the items help track Philly’s history before and after the American Revolution.

"It seems only fitting that such a complete story of the evolution of the city should be found on the site of a future museum," said museum CEO Michael Quinn. "These artifacts provide a tangible tie to Philadelphia’s past and help us tell the stories of people who lived right here before, during, and after the Revolutionary War."

Among the artifacts uncovered — many from brick-lined privy and well shafts sealed below 19th-century buildings that were taken down in the 1970s — were red earthenware from a mid-18th century tavern and items from 17th century homes.

Archaeologists also uncovered a re-assembled English delftware punch bowl that features the ship Tryphena, which sailed to Liverpool in 1765 carrying a Philadelphia merchants' petition of the Stamp Act.

Also uncovered were late-18-to-early-19th-century print type from Carter’s Alley, granite foundations of the city’s first "skyscraper" — a doctor’s office along Chestnut Street — and fragments from George Lippincott’s button factory, which thrived from 1913 until World War II, said the museum.

The findings were hailed as giving a glimpse into the history of Philly.

"Cities are constantly rebuilding themselves, and the construction of this new museum — right in the heart of the oldest part of Philadelphia — provided us with a rare opportunity to examine the things left behind by the people who lived and worked there, in order to learn about how the city began and how it changed," said lead archaeologist Dr. Rebecca Yamin. "This buried record of the past touches on many significant changes in the city’s development, essentially creating a microcosm of Philadelphia from its very beginning to the present."

The museum, which will use artifacts, artwork and manuscripts to tell the story of the American Revolution, is set to open next spring.

Berlin Borough police responded to a report of a burglary after a teenager inside the home called to report he was hiding in the closet of the basement with at least one other relative.

Officers responded to the Berlin, Camden County home Friday afternoon after a teen called to report the sound of broken glass and footsteps coming from the main level of his parent's home.

"Someone just broke into my house," the teen says in a 911 call obtained by NBC10.

"Did you see them come in," the operator asks.

"No, I heard them break the window," the teen replies.

"Okay, stay on the line with me," the operator says. "Where are you at now?"

"In my basement," the teen says. "They could be coming down. I'm not sure."

The 15-year-old boy stayed on the line and continued to hide in a closet.

"I do, I do. I hear footsteps," the teen whispers. "Please, please hurry up."

"They're there," the operator says as police arrive. "You may hear them okay? You're doing fine."

When police arrived an officer located a woman sitting in the passenger seat of a running car with no driver present, investigators said. The woman was uncooperative but did admit she did not live in the neighborhood, according to investigators. 

Other officers began checking the home and located the break in at the back of the house and created a perimeter around the house. Officers were able to remove the teens from the basement safely. Lieutenant William Beasley, one of the officers who arrived, praise the teen who reported the burglary.

"This young man is to be commended," Lieutenant Beasley said. "He maintained his composure throughout this whole event. As a police officer and as a parent I couldn't have been more pleased with how this young man reacted."

Police say they located a male burglar inside a closet after checking the upstairs. After a brief struggle, the male was successfully taken into custody, according to investigators.

The suspects were identified as James Clerkin Jr. and Alexis Diamond. After further investigation, police found Clerkin had multiple arrests for burglary, including some felony charges.

Clerkin is facing multiple charges including burglary and criminal mischief. After being unable to post bail, he was moved to Camden County Jail. Diamond was also given multiple charges but was released after providing a taped statement of the incident, police said.

At least one person was hurt after a car crashed into a creek in Upper Moreland Township Monday afternoon.

When Antwan Timbers Sr. told his son of the same name he loved him over the weekend, he didn't know those would be the last words he would ever speak to his 17-year-old son.

But, the elder Timbers said Monday, he's glad they were. Antwan Timbers Jr., a sophomore at Burlington City High School with dreams of serving in the military, was run down by a vehicle that jumped the curb as he walked home with a friend along Route 130 just after midnight Sunday. The teen died at the scene, police said.

Timbers' father, sister, mother and more than a dozen other family members gathered, most weeping, during a news conference Monday held by Burlington City Police. The family members held each other tightly as the elder Timbers spoke about his bright son, who had just landed a job at local Curtin's Wharf Marina and would have worked his first shift on Sunday.

"He was excited," the father said. "This is on of the worst things that you never can imagine, losing one of your own. I just think back on the moment and just the last words that I told him was that I love him, and I really appreciate the fact that I was able to say that."

Timbers Jr. was a member of the junior ROTC at Burlington City High School and excelled in school, school officials and his family said. He was one of four siblings in the Timbers family and leaves behind two sisters and a brother, his father said.

James Flynn, principal of Burlington City High School, said Timbers Jr. planned to take the upcoming Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery exam, an aptitude test for the military. His father said two of his cousins serve in the armed forces and that his son dreamed of doing the same.

"Antwan had set many goals for himself for this year and next year," Flynn said. "It is a devastating loss to all our staff and our students a Burlington City High School. Antwan will be greatly missed."

Police said the driver of the striking vehicle remained at the scene and was taken to a nearby hospital for a blood sample. From there, police said the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office took over the investigation.

The driver, identified as Ricardo Patterson III, 42, of Willingboro, is facing DUI and reckless driving charges, prosecutors said Sunday.

When asked about the investigation into his son's death during a news conference Monday, Timbers Sr. showed no hint of anger.

"I'm just gonna focus on my son and what a great citizen he was to this community," Timbers Sr. said.

"We're definitely gonna miss him," the father said. "This is a tragic accident that should not have happened. All we can do is grieve and go through this process and hope every day gets better."

In South Philadelphia's 1st Police District, police work is about more than just keeping the peace and locking people up.

It's about being involved in the community and making connections -- especially with the community's smallest residents. First District Capt. Lou Campione said that of the 27 community policing programs the district has, many are geared toward children. The district took to Twitter late last week to showcase some of its officers having fun with neighborhoods kids -- playing basketball, jumping rope and sharing ice cream -- all in a day's work.

Featured in the photos and videos are Officers Lamont Lister, Steve Ricci and Jason Hall.

Lister last week received a merit award on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day for his work in the community on and off duty. He's also a sergeant in the Army and did a tour in Iraq.

Campione said his officers try to break barriers that sometimes build up between the community and police by connecting with kids and parents, doing work in schools, and by taking kids who have trouble in schools under their wings.

"We have 10 schools in the confines of the 1st District, and we're in the schools every day," Campione said. He said the district runs anti-drug, anti-violence and anti-bullying programs, and mentoring programs. The district has baseball cards of officers, judges and other public officials that they hand out to kids, too, Campione said, and a program that donates books to kids involved in crimes or other incidents so their interaction with the police is a positive one.

"It's a positive adventure to come here to interact with the police officers and bond with the police officers," Campione said. "So they've got role models they can emulate, and they can say, 'I want to become a police officer. I want to become a judge. I want to give back to the community.'"

A tow truck driver managed to drive himself to the hospital after he was shot in the chest in Philadelphia early Monday evening. 

The 30-year-old man was inside his vehicle with a 28-year-old passenger on the 1400 block of Blavis Street at 5:46 p.m. when an unidentified gunman opened fire.

The 30-year-old man was struck once in the left side of his chest while his passenger suffered a graze wound to his left shoulder. Police told NBC10 the victim managed to drive himself to Temple University Hospital which is located about a mile and a half away from the shooting. He then parked at the entrance of an emergency room.

The tow truck driver is currently in critical condition while his passenger is stable. Police say both men are expected to survive.

Both victims know the gunman who shot them and even gave police his nickname, according to investigators. 

"The shooter is known to the victims," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. "He's described as a male who is wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt who was last seen in a Saturn Ion, Burgundy in color."

Police plan on checking nearby businesses for any surveillance video of the shooting.

A portion of Roosevelt Boulevard was closed due to flooding caused by Monday’s heavy rain.

Storms moved through the Philadelphia area early Monday evening and caused localized flooding in some areas.  The northbound inner and outer lanes of the Boulevard were closed at Blue Grass Road in Northeast Philadelphia due to the flooding. They were later reopened.

A man who was badly injured during last year’s Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia finally met the group of first responders who saved his life.

“Finally, I know the identity of these brave individuals and have been able to thank them – even have lunch with four of my guardian angels,” said Robert Hewett. 

On May 12, 2015, Hewett, 58, was sitting in the first car of Amtrak 188 when it derailed in Philadelphia, killing eight people and injuring more than 200 others.

“Right before I lost consciousness, I crashed head-on with another gentleman,” Hewett said. “I woke up laying on a pile of rocks. All my clothes had been ripped off. I couldn’t move my legs. I couldn’t see out of my right eye.”

Hewett said fires burned in the field near where the train careened off the tracks, but he was too badly hurt to move himself to safety. So he waited.

"I was scared laying there," Hewett said. "I couldn't move, I couldn't get away. I started yelling for help."

Eventually, that help came. First responders carried Hewett away from the scene.

"I remember [the rescuer] saying, 'This guy's gotta go now or the whole back of his head's coming off,'" Hewett recalled.

Hewett was the first derailment survivor to arrive at Hahnemann Hospital but the last to leave. He suffered several fractures, a collapsed lung and spent seven weeks in a medically induced coma. The severity of his injuries required lengthy and extensive medical treatment.

After watching Hewett recount his rescue on the one-year anniversary of the crash earlier this month, Lisa Hogan knew her husband, Philadelphia Fire Lieutenant James Hogan, was one of the men who rescued him. Hogan then reached out to Hewett and helped identify all of the first responders who came to his aid and rushed him to Hahnemann Hospital, including Lt. Hogan, firefighter Michael Flacco, Philadelphia Police Officer Padraic Feeney, Officer Kevin McGorty, Officer Bryan Turner and Officer Sean King. Hewett, his wife and their two children met with all of his rescuers except for Turner and King and had lunch with them in Center City back on May 18.

“We all now share a very special bond and I look forward to continuing to stay in touch,” Hewett said.  “We are forever grateful for what these first responders do every day.”
