Police in Yonkers say a city man who allegedly stabbed his mother and father in an apartment at 58 Maple Street is in custody following a tense standoff with police that ended up on the building's rooftop.

Yonkers Police are calling it the most violent weekend in years.
Detectives are investigating five shootings, two stabbings, an armed robbery and two gang beatings, all of which occurred between Friday evening and Sunday night.  In one  of the shootings, which occurred on Cliff Street, bullets were found in a home containing children inside. In another incident, a beverage store was held up at gunpoint on McLean Avenue.

The Yonkers police union says the spike in violence is further proof that deep cuts to the department could have deadly consequences.
PBA President Detective Keith Olson says the department is already operating with reduced manpower, which has led to more crime in specific areas.  Olson calls the city's plan to lay off cops "ludicrous," especially during a time when crime appears to be on the rise in each section of the city.  Mayor Phil Amicone says the city needs millions of state and federal dollars to prevent the elimination of 91 police positions starting July 1.
