"Cops confirmed a violent robbery occurred at the intersection on June 12. Two men, Jonathan Duran, 37, and Rysuan Braxton, 34, were busted with second-degree robbery after the pair punched a woman in the back of the head and threw her into the ground before swiping her purse and headphones, an NYPD spokesperson said.
Almost seven months later, Cruz, 24, was slapped with murder and manslaughter charges for the senseless killing of on-duty postal worker Ray Hodge III at Joe’s Grocery in Harlem on Jan. 2.
The unhinged woman flew into a blinding rage and allegedly spat on the father of two and repeatedly stabbed him after he cut her in line to order a sandwich.
Cruz had at least five prior arrests leading up to the bloody stabbing, including for waving a box cutter at a person in Midtown West in July 2020 and threatening she was going “to cut him,” law enforcement sources previously told The Post.

"Cruz knifed Hodges after he confronted her about cutting him in line at the counter inside the bodega —
later saying that he “deserved it,” according to prosecutors.
At the sentencing Thursday, an attorney for Cruz’ said Hodges made a “slur” about “her gender identity” during the deli clash.
The lawyer also listed medications that Cruz,
who has history of knife violence, has been taking to maintain her gender and requested that she be placed in female jail facility.
After the sentencing, Hodges’ furious family members began chanting “It’s a boy!” and “F–king boy!”inside the courtroom as other supporters wore “Justice for Ray” t-shirts.
Judge Carro called the fatal stabbing a “senseless killing over a trivial misunderstanding.”

"The woman accused of stabbing a postal worker to death over a spot in line at a Harlem deli has a history of knife violence — and once threatened “to cut” one of her previous victims.
Jaia Cruz was arrested at least five times before she allegedly carried out the ruthless killing Thursday, law enforcement sources told The Post.
In July 2020, Cruz was caught waving an open box cutter at another person in Midtown West and shouting, “I’m going to cut him,” sources said. Cruz was ordered to get on the ground but refused.
Cruz was ordered to get on the ground, but refused. She was then pulled away by officers and busted for resisting arrest.
Just two weeks later, Cruz was arrested again for a 4:30 a.m. tag-team robbery — she and another individual used knives to steal a man’s phone and wallet after the victim invited the pair to “hang out.”
The repeat offender — who has been described by cops as a transgendered woman — now faces murder charges for the brutal knifing of Ray Hodges, an on-duty USPS letter carrier who was grabbing lunch at the deli at 168 Lenox Ave."
