Police arrested a Bronx man Monday for the fatal stabbing of a lawyer whose body was found in his law office in Jackson Heights on Thursday.

Officers cuffed 64-year-old Nando Perez on murder and weapon charges for allegedly stabbing Charles Zolot to death. Perez was believed to be a disgruntled client.

Zolot, a 65-year-old divorce and family court attorney from Briarwood, was found face up on the floor of his office at 37-06 82nd St. with trauma to his face and torso early Thursday morning, police said.

EMS pronounced him dead at the scene.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
