Here are the top three stories today in Miller Place-Rocky Point:

1. The passenger of a car was punched in a fight with an all-terrain vehicle rider who blocked traffic with a pack of riders blocking traffic in East Patchogue on Saturday. The riders blocked traffic at Woodside Avenue, near Route 112, just before 4 p.m., said police, and then a male passenger in a Jeep got into a fight with one of the riders and the rider punched him.

2. Check out this house for sale in Rocky Point. The $1.1 million custom-built home has a balcony overlooking Long Island Sound. (Patch)
3. Suffolk County officials say there is a chronic shortage of blood supplies in New York since the start of the pandemic, and the Jan. 29 blizzard resulted in 1,000 fewer donations after blood drives were canceled and few donors turned out. (Subscription: Newsday)
