Anonymous tipsters last year banked $115,600 ratting out rotten apples to the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline, which doles out up to $3,500 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of a violent felon.
The tipsters provided intel that helped crack 79 cases in 2023, including a terrifying May 21 subway assault that left 35-year-old straphanger Emine Ozsoy paralyzed from the chest down.
The unhinged suspect, Kamal Semrade, 39, randomly shoved Ozsoy into a moving train at the Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street station on the Upper East Side around 6 a.m.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the alleged attacker while they were on the platform.

An eagle-eyed Post reader sent in a tip to Crime Stoppers saying he knew who the man was, police officials said.
“I’m grateful,” Ozsoy told The Post recently. “There are good people in the city.”
