>> reporter: police say two men were slashed and injured here on the corner of 21st street and 6th avenue. we saw investigators out here collecting evidence. they tell us the suspects got kicked out of this nightclub down the block. they ended up the the intersection and attacked the victims. this happened at 3:30 this morning and again the initial problem started at the slate nightclub. the two suspects, both of them men, started a confrontation with the bouncers and eventually left. but seconds later, we're told, they randomly walked up to a 27- year-old man, started an argument with him then slashed him in the hand. police also tell us a man who they met in the club tried to intervene but the suspects turned on him and slashed him in the whichest and shoulders. -- chest and shoulders. we just talked to a man who lives nearby and he called this a shock. >> what are your concerns when you hear something like this? >> i mean i wouldn't expect anything like that in this area. now you just have to be a

you have to be a little more alert on your surroundings. especially at nighttime now. i mean, we have a couple clubs right around here. you just have to be even more alert. especially on the weekends. it kind of brings you down to earth a little bit. >> it's especially scary considering there have been 611 slashings and stabbings in the city since january. that number is 21% higher compared to the same time last year. just a few weeks ago a 24-year- old woman was slashed in the face in chelsea. just a few blocks from today's scene. and on friday a 60-year-old man was slashed in the face getting on the subway in midtown when he accidentally bumped into the suspect. now this morning two men were slashed in chelsea here at 6th avenue and 21st street. police are still looking for the suspects. they say they don't have a good description of who these perpetrators are. if you have any information they want you to call them immediately. live in chelsea, ilana gold. >> is thank you.

are searching for the drivers involved in three separate city. the first happened this morning in the bronx. a 26-year-old man was standing at the ramp of the cross bronx expressway in webster avenue in tree month when he was struck. in ozone park queens police say a 48-year-old man was getting into his parked car when he was hit around 4:00 a.m. there's no description of that vehicle. then around 4:40 this morning police say a 41-year-old man was on his bike when he was struck by a dark-colored sedan in park slope brooklyn. a young store owner was gunned down in new jersey. now police are looking for his killer. 21-year-old jamal gaines was shot and killed. police say two men stormed inside the east coast boutique after it closed. gaines family says he was a role model to the community. >> he would have given them anything they asked for.

them. torn the family completely up. and i ask why. >> police say robbery may have been the motive. >> a firefighter had to be given cpr at the scene of a raging house fire along the jersey shore. the flames raced through a two and a half story wood-framed home. the firefighter was revived and rushed to the hospital. the flames, as you can see, were so intense and stubborn that fire crews from several neighboring towns were called in to help. no word yet on how this fire started. the pilot of a small plane that crashed into a tree is recovering this morning after getting trapped 50 feet off the ground. this happened yesterday in pennsylvania. it took rescuers about four hours to get the 87-year-old pilot down. he was taken to the hospital but only had a few scrapes on his hands. the cause of the crash is under investigation. now to campaign 2016. another victory for hillary clinton. the former secretary of state

in a landslide. >> she got three times the amount of votes than bernie sanders. cindy hsu explains what it tuesday. >> thank you so much, south carolina. >> reporter: democratic voters overwhelmingly picked hillary clinton as the person they want as their nominee for president. exit polls show 84% of black voters went with clinton. nearly 50% of women. >> we are going to make sure that our republican friends do not forget that when president bush left office we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. >> reporter: her opponent, bernie sanders was in minnesota and texas. both states participating in super tuesday this week. clinton also looked to the future. campaigning in alabama before returning to south carolina whether she took a jab at the republican front runner. >> despite what you hear, we

great again. america has never stopped being great. >> and she wasn't the only one. >> donald trump will never be the nominee of the party lincoln and reagan. at donald trump. people. he should sue whoever did that to his face. force one. the guy with the worst spray tan in america. straight back. >> i will address, you know, little rubio. this guy has a fresh mouth. he's a very nasty guy. and i actually thought that ted cruz was a liar but rubio is worse. i mean he's worse. there's lightweight rubio. >> governor chris christie joined trump on the campaign trail and targeted rubio. >> one message to senator rubio. unlike the united states senate, president of the united states is not a no-show job so

>> while another republican contender attempted to elevate the tone of things. >> i don't think it's a good thing to see presidential candidates just behaving like school children bickering. >> most of the candidates will talking on face the nation this morning. >> a preview now. good morning, john. >> good morning. yep, we have the top three republican contenders on the show today. donald trump will start us off. then ted cruz and marco rubio. it's gotten very heated and so conversations. on the democratic side bernie sanders took a big beating last night in south carolina so what's the future for his campaign? we're also going to talk to anthony salvanto. we have brand new cbs battleground tracker poll numbers which will give us a preview of super tuesday and how the states are trending, but more important we'll look at what the voters in the states are thinking behind the horse race numbers. >> all right so john, seems

in terms of the attacks we've heard the last few days, especially between rubio and trump. what do you make of rubio sort of changing strategy heading into super tuesday? how do you think this plays out? >> well it's -- he's going toe to toe with him. trying to show he is the alternative to donald trump. he'd like it to be a two man race. he'd like all the people who are voting against donald trump in the primaries and caucuses to come over to him. the question is though by matching donald trump's tactics, by the one liners, the insults, the circus show, a little bit, whether he's actually playing on trump's turf. whether people when they see that see enough of a distinction between the two of them that they pick marco rubio in a battle against donald trump. so we'll have to see if that happens. whether the old line is true if you wrestle with a pig the pig just enjoys it and you get dirty. or whether marco rubio really comes out ahead in this new

on the democratic side bernie sanders has been hammering clinton about her high paid speeches. he seems to have won over the new york times on this issue. does that mean he's gaining traction or is the outcome in south carolina a sign he needs to change strategies? >> well, winning over the new york times only gets you so far. in south carolina he was really walloped. there's just no way to get around it the problem for bernie sanders is not just that he was defeated so soundly in south carolina or that he lost in nevada, it's that those are two pieces of data in an equation that works out well for hillary clinton. the analysis has been after you get past iowa and new hampshire the elector at gets less white and less liberal. there are tougher places for bernie sanders. that turned out to be true in nefs and south carolina. it's very likely to be true in a number of the states going forward. that's why it looks good for hillary clinton right now.

time to talk with us this morning. we look forward to your show as always. lots for you to talk about as well. and remember you can catch john and a full hour of face the nation later this morning at 10:30 right here on cbs 2. he needs more than an hour. >> my god, john, hats off to you as always. time now 8:12. staying safe in the city. find out what you should do if you feel threat. ed. fight back welcome just cooperate? we'll tell you. plus this. >> i'm going to be there in your head talking to you the whole time. >> it's hollywood's biggest night. will leonardo dicaprio take home gold? first vanessa murdock. >> going to be a beautiful day. we'll be gunning for 60 degrees. i'm loving the forecast for today, anyway. temperatures do drop off. i'll tell you when coming up in my full forecast. but first a check on the

and cbsnewyork.com. it is a beautiful start to this sunday morning. 39 degrees. 8:15. february 28th. also known as diane macedo's birthday. welcome back to cbs 2 news sunday morning.

murdock to get a check on your birthday forecast. >> that's how it it says on my calendar. not because of facebook. my purchased calendar it says diane macedo's birthday. >> came right out of hallmark that way. >> is almost a national holiday. happy birthday. >> thank you very much. >> i'm excited about the weather today. it is going to be beautiful to end the weekend. diane is going to love the forecast. 60 degrees is where we're heading this afternoon. as you see these beautiful skies behind me, we keep these skies for the duration of your day. lots of sun to end the weekend. let's take it from there to the current conditions out of central park. bright skies. southwest winds at 13 miles per hour. those winds are critical in the forecast. that is why we're going to feel the unseasonable warmth of today. so yes, a chilly start. most of us in in the 30s still. a mild end. no wet weather today. tomorrow we do have a chance for showers moving thrombaseically for the first half to two-thirds of the day,

umbrella is a good idea if you have lunch plans outside. better bet midweek for wet weather. wednesday, wet and windy weather. nothing like we had this week prior. nonetheless we could get significant rainfall and those winds will be moving things around a little. as we look at the temperature trend. yesterday it was 41. with the windchill yesterday fete like 35. today we don't have to worry about that. this afternoon, anyway. 60 is where we're heading. we'll be at 60 tomorrow with the showers. beautiful day. 53 degrees as we welcome march. now today's high of 60 is a typical high for april 12th. we are certainly channeling spring with the weather. we know we city have 21 days to go before it officially arrives. as far as what's happening on the vortex satellite and radar picture. the clouds out there this morning. they're not very, very thick, but they're doing a little bit in the way of obscuring the direct sunlight. we'll see plenty of that sun today. high pressure in control. circulation around the high

that's for today. tomorrow, cold front out to the west sweeps through. bringing early opportunity for some showers in the forecast. let's show you what it looks like hour by hour here. loving today's forecast. 60. a whole lot of sun. overnight skies are mostly clear. very mild overnight. your overnight low is the same as our normal daytime high. 45 is where we expect to bottom out in the city. note what happens tomorrow morning. 7:00 a.m. time. still dry. this line moves on through through the morning hours. two. it's out of here by afternoon. skies are clearing. tuesday is going to be beautiful. today i think it is the pick of the week. 60 degrees. mostly sunny. little breezy today with winds out of the southwest at 10 to 15 miles per hour. overnight, mild. mainly clear. 45 in the city. 42 in wayne. 44 in whiting. you get the picture here. as we make our way into the day tomorrow. it's going to be still mild. 60.

your extended forecast. tuesday. 53. lots of sun early. clouds thickening late. wednesday, 52. rain. gets breezy as well. clearing out for thursday. bright but chilly. then friday a chance for snow. we're watching the opportunity for it. we'll keep you posted. saturday, 42 and mostly sunny. i do want to mention today with a high of 60. won't be that warm across much of long island. especially along the south shore. winds will be in off the water. otherwise, enjoy the day. a recent rash of slashings and stabbings seem to have many people on edge. according to statistics so far have been 609 stabbings and slashings. just friday morning a 60-year- old man was attacked after he accidentally bumped into another man while getting on the train. that happened in midtown. the violent act the of crime have taken place mostly on the subways but also to innocent bystanders walking down the street. even someone inside a

so what should you do if you find yourself in that situation? 28 year law enforcement veteran and caesar with force effects training are here with useful tips for us all. it's unfortunate we have to talk about this. this latest incident happened when two people bumped into each other on the train. that happens all the time. are there red flags? >> absolutely. individual that appears to be intoxicated. under the influence of some sort of drug or the person is behaving in a manner that creates concern of some kind. you should look to create distance and space. >> in some of these instances people are sleeping when it happens or they're just walking down the street and someone comes out of nowhere. what's your advice for that? >> nypd agencies have stepped up patrol. law enforcement can't be everywhere. you need to be prepared. you need to be aware of your surroundings. not be glued to a phone.

train so you can be in a better position to protect yourself. >> one of the other things is nypd is waking up passengers. >> that is correct. >> if you do these things the right way, you try to diffuse a situation, what do you do? if someone is coming after you physically or they've already slashed you, what do you do? do you fight back? >> you have to fight back. you want to fight back. you don't want to be a victim. you want to give yourself a reactionary gap. what we like to teach everybody is to have a three feet opponent. this way you have some kind of evasive action -- space to do some kind of evasive action. perfect example. typically from the slashings that we have seen or heard about they're occurring from the ear to jaw. that's a round house stale punch. move into that attack you want to attack the strike and attack eyes, throat, groin, shin. opportunity to escape.

attack the eyes, the groin and that's going to give me enough time to leave the area. >> most people are right-handed so look out for that right hand coming at you. >> typically the population is 90% right-handed. good chances the attacker is going to come from the opponent's right side. >> if you're an innocent bystander, do you jump in to help and how can you do that in a safe manner? >> like i always say it depends on the circumstance. if the person being attacked caused the situation, then i'd get involved. what's happening a lot now we discuss and see a lot is people video taping instead of contacting the authorities or getting involved in helping. >> how do you go about doing hurt? >> prepare yourself mentally. i think that's important. if you're not thinking about what you're going to do to help somebody you're really not going to do anything. it might catch you off guard. be mentally prepared. will i be able to push somebody, grab somebody out of

what can i do to hiv somebody else. it doesn't take much to call the police. it doesn't take much mostly clear tackle somebody away from somebody else. >> so visualize it before you go ahead and execute on that. >> absolutely. >> video taping can be helpful, of course. but you always want to see people also helping one another. >> sure. >> in a more direct way. >> thank you so much for being on. it's so helpful. unfortunate we have to discuss it, but we do have more tips. for more information on all of this you can head to our

cooler temps to end the week. cool enough for the chance of some snow. that's a ways away. for tomorrow it is leap day. typically the calendar year is 365 days. the earth takes 365 days and 6 hours to travel around the sun so over four years we rack up an extra 24 hours and that's when that leap day becomes necessary. so happy leap day tomorrow. weather is looking decent tomorrow as well. vortex satellite and radar picture. high, thin clouds. general trend for today. lots of sunshine. unseasonable warmth. that's because of the position of high pressure. it is making its way off the coast. winds are cranking in out of the southwest. bringing in nice, mild air for us today. tomorrow we'll still have the mild air in play. cold front will roll through bringing us the chance for showers. let's take it now to this. a spring finish for your weekend.

red carpet has been rolled out. the dolby theater is ready. joining us is eric davis, managing editor of fandango. one of the biggest questions, will this be leonardo dicaprio's year? >> most definitely leo's year. we polled movie goers. 87% are tuning in to see leo win his first oscar. he's been nominated for five. he's never won. this has got to be his year. if he does not win this year, this is one of the biggest shockers in oscar history. that's how much of a favorite he is. >> why does he deserve it this year over past years? >> i think this performance is -- looking at. >> he's not dressed up. this is a performance that doesn't rely on dialogue. it's sort of more internal.

i think he's never done a performance like this yet. there's a lot of growl in it. you feel it. you feel he went through a lot doing it. so i think he gets it. >> so that's best actor. let's move on to best actress. brie larson -- who do you think should win? >> similar to dicaprio, brie larson. she won an independent spirit award last night. i think it's brie larson's year. she's fantastic. i was crying like a -- >> it's a heavy movie. >> it's hard core. she's fantastic in it. i think it's brie larson.

christian bale, mark ruffalo, tom hardy, sylvester stallone and mark rylance. >> it's got to be stallone. this is the best story -- one of my favorite stories coming into oscar night. he was nominated 40 years ago for playing this character. he didn't win 40 years ago. this would be great if he won. if there is a spoiler look for it to come from christian bale for the big short or mark ruffalo for spotlight. both casts are strong casts. i think if they're going to honor the casts with an oscar it will come in this category. >> he won the golden globe for this. >> he did. and he's won several awards in this category leading up to it. oscar loves their stories. >> best supporting actress. jennifer jason leigh, rachel mcadams, alicia vikander and kate winslet.

all of these performances are just fantastic. right now it looks like it's going to to be between kate winslet and alicia vikander. i think it's going to go to vikander. she's fantastic in the danish girl. she's a break out year for her. she was in four movies. another tip she was in was excellent. could have been nominated -- she was for several awards. i think she wins this. i felt like more than eddie reddmayne the danish girl is her movie. >> best picture. the big short, bridge of spies, mad max, the revenant, and brooklyn. who will win be. >> spotlight threw a wrench in everything last night. won five awards. best picture, best director. maybe it's spotlight.
