New York's public safety mayor faces subway attack while in Covid quarantine

Mayor Eric Adams cast the blame on an 'overproliferation' of guns nationally and “the revolving door of the criminal justice system” that he said has kept dangerous people on streets

Eric Adams lamented his cloistered situation, saying in a virtual television interview, "You know me, you know I want to be on the ground."

The mayor, who has previously defined success as eliminating “any shootings in my city,” said on NY1 Tuesday that the incident stems from an “overproliferation” of guns nationally.
