Tyrone Gibbons, 19, of Short Hills, N.J., was standing in line at a falafel cart at 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue at around 4 a.m., when he and his friends got into an argument with Ziad Tayeh, 23 about cutting the line, police said.

After a heated exchange, Gibbons and his pals hopped in their car, and Tayeh got in his. But when they stopped at a light on 53rd Street and Seventh Avenue, they started arguing again.

“They were not happy with each other,” a police official said.

When the light changed, they turned south onto Seventh Avenue, but again stopped at a light at 52nd Street, and the fight erupted all over again.

Then Tayeh jumped out of his white Lexus and allegedly plunged a blade into Gibbons’ chest, cops said.

Scott Gocherman, 30, a retail manager waiting for an uptown F-train yesterday had this message for transit managers: “Get me from here to there. I want to get to work. I don’t need you to be trying to sell me anything.”

Some riders said they didn’t even notice the pitches. Others thought the new plugs could be a good way to generate extra money for system maintenance or upgrades.

But Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Tom Kelly said the spiels are a free “courtesy” to let riders know of the tourist attraction. He couldn’t immediately say who requested the “Top of the Rock” mention.

A spokeswoman for Tishman Speyer, co-owners of Rockefeller Center, was tight lipped. “We are declining to comment,” the spokeswoman said.

Riders have been asking conductors what the heck is “Top of the Rock,” conductor Ronald Brockington said.

But nobody bothered to explain to train crews what their announcements were about, he added.

A new city report found people who live in the Brooklyn neighborhood are least likely to exercise of all New Yorkers. In fact, 57% admitted they are sedentary, while residents of Greenwich Village and SoHo hit the gym on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Staten Island is still the smoking capital of the city, especially the South Shore and Mid Island sections, where 33% of residents smoke,

The updated Community Health Profiles released by the Department of Health use yearly phone surveys and other data to measure health indicators such as depression, asthma, diabetes and smoking in 42 neighborhoods.

Some conclusions:

East Harlem residents may exercise a bit more than those in Sunset Park, but they should lay off the fried foods — 31% say they are obese.

The Council’s Oversight and Investigations Committee recently contacted 223 real estate agents who advertised “no fee” apartments on two popular online Web sites: craigslist.org and backpage.com.

The investigators discovered that 31% of the so-called “no fee” apartments did, in fact, have broker fees.

“There’s no place in this city for deceptive and misleading sales practices,” said Councilman Eric Gioia (D-Queens), the committee’s chairman, during a news conference at City Hall.

With that thought in mind, the Massachusetts-based company applied to the New York State Liquor Authority in April for a liquor license at its 12-screen College Point movie theater.

The application, which is currently being evaluated by the SLA, is for the theater’s new Chatters Bar & Grill. Chatters is just one feature of National Amusements’ new signature theatre concept, Cinema de Lux.

Chatters is a full-service restaurant featuring American fare, and would include a full service bar with beer, wine and signature specialty drinks. “Anyone is welcome to dine at Chatters; it makes a great place for lunch, meeting friends for a snack or enjoying a meal before, during or after the movie,” the spokeswoman added.
