The NYPD chief who vaulted over a barricade to chase down ISIS-inspired wannabe bombers outside Gracie Mansion earlier this year was awarded the department’s distinguished Medal for Valor Monday.   Assistant Chief Aaron Edwards – the commanding officer of Patrol Borough Manhattan North – was among five heroes in blue who received the NYPD’s third-highest honor for their efforts taking down the suspected terrorists as unruly warring protests raged outside the mayor’s mansion back in March.   “Today was very special,” Edwards said with the blue and gold medal around his neck.
