There were at least 5 NYC subway stabbings this weekend after mayor unveiled new safety plan

Five people were stabbed in separate incidents in New York City subway stations this weekend since officials on Friday vowed to combat crime and address homelessness in the city's transit system as part of a new public safety initiative, according to the New York Police Department.

No arrests have been made in connection to any of the incidents, and all five victims are in stable condition, a NYPD spokesperson told CNN on Sunday. The first stabbing incident this weekend occurred Friday evening inside a Queens subway station, where a man was stabbed by another man who fled the scene on foot, police say. The victim was taken to a local hospital with a cut to his arm and is expected to survive. The NYPD said they have a suspect related to the attack in custody.

We need more knife control legislation immediately

Are the subway stabbing this weekend connected to the crackdown on crime?

Me personally wouldn't go into the subway w/o my 9...sad but true...

ericadamsfornyc you got elected to fight crime. Do better

But shhhhh don't mention any offender is of color or Burn Loot Murder will peacefully Riot n Destroy the Big Apple

No good man...

We should revolt against every single politician who utters to defund the police. We need law and order and protection for all of us.

The vow was made Friday and won't be acted on until Tuesday. Too late for these victims.

Leftism.

This is Bill de Blasio's legacy... right? BilldeBlasio

Blame it on the Attorney General. Their soft on crime policy should in itself be a crime. They are in office to deter crime not coddle it. Lock them up for good.

smh...

This has been happening too much for days now

I'm surprised CNN is covering this.

Is NY democrats strong hold?

Should probably de-fund the police...not

We need to ban knives. It’s about time we hold the NKA accountable.

How about more CCW for citizens

Adams' proposed cuts to NYC schools come at 'worst possible time,' critics say“Schools have always been under-budgeted,” parent Ricardo Ramirez says, adding that his son's classmates transferred due to a lack of resources. “Now that schools have lower enrollment, shouldn’t we play catch up so that we can provide a good education?” '[Alliance for Quality Education's] Gripper also called the decision to cut education funding while keeping police department funding flat 'backwards.'
