Lou Koller, the longtime frontman and co-founder of iconic New York hardcore band Sick of It All, has died at age 59 after a battle with cancer.

Raul Morales, 51, now faces raps of attempted murder as a hate crime and assault as a  hate crime for his attack on the Jewish victim, who was wearing a yarmulke when he was stabbed in the chest with a screwdriver in broad daylight, sources said.

Shocked neighbors of the nut suspected of attacking two Upper West Side men described him Friday as “lonely’’ but “super cordial’’ — as cops ramped up their probe into the possible hate crime.

New York City socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing heat on social media after his post celebrating the state’s new pied-à-terre tax on New Yorkers with a second home.

The victim, identified by the New York Times as Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, was seen holding a tissue to his chest as he sat sprawled on a Manhattan street corner waiting for emergency services.

Health officials sent out a warning to anyone who may have dined at Yellow Deli Restaurant in Vista after a rabid bat landed on a table.

New York City Jewish leaders want the deranged man who stabbed two people on the Upper West Side yesterday prosecuted for a hate crime — and demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani “stop fanning the flames of hatred and division.”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is telling New Yorkers to take to the streets to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits the Big Apple — and it has NYPD cops fuming and accusing him of “inciting a riot with his rhetoric.”

Two men were stabbed in an unprovoked rampage on the Upper West Side near Central Park on Thursday afternoon, law-enforcement sources said.

The 47-year-old victim was driving when he got into a collision with another motorist around 5:30 a.m. in College Point, law enforcement sources said.
