A man and woman were riding a northbound 2 train when an unknown man got into a fight with them. According to police, he pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the man in the finger and leg. The victim's friend pulled out pepper spray to fight off the attacker.
The persistent crime on the subways, despite an increase in cops patrolling underground, is one reason Adams has decided to call a two-day crime summit. Adams says, despite an increase in arrests and a reduction in gun crimes, there's apparently also a safety perception gap. According to the latest crime stats, subway arrests are up 47 percent since the start of the year. But so is crime. The index crimes - murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary and grand larceny - are up more than 41 percent so far in 2022 and were up nearly 47 percent last week. Adams is inviting the entire criminal justice establishment to participate in the summit. He's hoping to find common ground solutions from people on different sides of the issue.

alecia__reid Clownshow. This dude cares about the next party, not the next victim. He has had bodyguards for decades. Relish this current eejit, New York voters. You asked for him. Lol!
MKramerTV Holding a summit?He has all these violence interrupters, officers on work-slow, closed churches, students using verbiage standing typically unafraid of the law. Broke pockets hungry people causing anger, homeless. Answer is distribution of funding equally in each community.
MKramerTV The only folks needed here are Hochul and the state senate. Reverse bail laws and many problems solved. Hochul is going to lose the state if she doesn’t commit to change. After Trump took over the GOP I would never have imagined voting Republican again, but here we are..
