Amidst the ongoing crimes, New York City leaders have reported that the overall crime rate on the subways is declining. However, New Yorkers still can’t seem to shake off the sense of fear they feel. Over the course of eight hours, three attacks took place in two different boroughs of New York City.
One of the most recent incidents happened in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant at around 4 a.m, where a 27-year-old woman was hit in the face with an unidentified object while on a southbound A-train at the Franklin Avenue station. Although she was taken to Kings County Hospital for treatment, no arrests have been made in relation to the offense.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that at around 9 p.m on Sunday, a man was shot in his thigh by another man who demanded his wallet. The attack occurred on a southbound Rockaway Park shuttle approaching the Rockaway Park Beach – 116th Street station in Queens.
Just an hour before that, a 15-year-old boy was robbed and stabbed in his hip on a northbound L train near the East 105th Street Station in Canarsie, Brooklyn. The masked attacker fled the scene with the victim’s phone.
Despite the mayor crimes reducing by more than six percent, there has been an increase of 16.5% in misdemeanor assaults, and a rise of more than 25% in petit larceny compared to last year—subsequently causing riders to worry.
While even with the statistics showing a downward trend for crimes, riders still are on edge. Last weekend, the NYPD appointed additional officers in the system after numerous violent crimes took place. Michael Kemper, NYPD Transit Chief, said, “I want to get this out to the ridership, to the public. There are no plans to reduce that infusion.
We are upwards of around 1,000 additional cops in the subway system each and every day.” The month of June has been a challenge for the police. With several high profile and extremely concerning incidents, those travelling by train, have every right to worry about their safety.
New Yorkers have every right to fear for their safety. While statistics have shown a decline in subway crimes, the recent attacks have left some individuals feeling anxious.
