The weekend has arrived on the Lower East Side! Patrick Murray bringing the latest headlines from Lower Manhattan.

First, today's weather:

A cool, cloudy fall Saturday with a high of 61 and a low of 54.

Here are the top stories today in Lower East Side-Chinatown:

1. An emotionally disturbed, knife-wielding man is hospitalized after being tased and arrested. The 25-year-old assailant was harassing elderly people with two butcher's knives near "The Butcher's Daughter" on Kenmare Street before he was successfully taken into custody. An officer witnessed the struggle and fired a shot that luckily did not cause any harm to passersby. (WABC-TV)
2. Artist Michelle Repiso is taking her "Basic Necessities" installment on Broome Street one step further. The 6-month-old multimedia project tackles "three individuals and the mechanisms they used to sustain their humanity while incarcerated." This Sunday, Repiso will be crowdsourcing participants' fundamental needs and incorporating those in her project. (Bowery Boogie)
3. Actress Lucy Liu stuns in a gold dress during a night out in Chinatown. The 52-year-old actress showed off her style before dining at the Golden Unicorn with a friend. The celebrity is sighted just weeks after making headlines for her claims regarding former co-star of "Charlie's Angels," Bill Murray. (Daily Mail)
