Is NYC subway crime 'out of control'?

New York City has seen multiple violent attacks in the subway system over the last few days that have made headlines. In response, Mayor Eric Adams appears to be giving mixed messaging, claiming that criminals have been emboldened, while also insisting that the city is not out of control. FOX 5 NY's Linda Schmidt takes a closer look.

But we can't hurt the minorities feelings.

Look at it this way: If you travel via subway. If you get attacked, no one will help you. There are no police around. You are not allowed to carry a short boomstick, or anything to defend your self. God forbid you harm one of these criminals, If you do, you go to jail. It is a no live situation in my opinion. If you want to live, leave the city for a safer city .

How can the mayor say the city is not out of control and safe with everything going on.

I commute to work in NYC and see what is going on and it is really out of control. If you value life and limb I would strongly urge you to stay away from this place.

Guilliani knew how to make the city safe and so did Bloomberg. Adams does not have to use the subway everyday.😢

I strongly doubt that the suspect who shoved and murdered that straphanger onto the subway tracks paid $2.90 to get into the subway system where he most likely jumped the turnstile and as a matter of fact, one of his many prior arrests was for fare evasion.
If you stop fare evasion, you mitigate crime in the subway. It's that simple! The fact that the MTA has not yet implemented a solution to the fare evasion problem across all stations is ridiculous.

The city is most definitely out of control. I am a native brooklynite whose left. There is absolutely no doubt that NYC is out of control. I grew up in the early mid 2000s I NEVER heard of any of this stuff ever!!!

I'm no fashion expert, but when your dress looks like a 1970's car seat, it might be time to reevaluate.
