But hey, crime is down overall. Or not being reported... it is hard to say which is true. Exclusive | Murders, robberies surge in NYC subway, NYPD data shows
If you've been living under a rock, you might not have known about the recent, high-profile murder in NYC.
A maniac repeat-offender pushed an elderly man to his death on Manhattan subway stairs Thursday, cops said — the fourth homicide in or around the subway this year, up from just one a year ago at this time.
Because the attack started "above ground" (or at the top of the stairs) NYPD did not count this as a transit crime. Of course not, because why would you want to include a murder on the stairs of the transit system as being committed in the transit system?.
Robbery in the transit system has also shot up by 18% so far in 2026 over the same span last year, to 156 from 132, according to NYPD data.
Felony assault is down 6% so far this year, to 209 from 221, but has increased 16% over the same period in 2024 and 60% from seven years ago.
So is crime up, or down? You decide. And you can click thru for more statistics.
NYPD says that arrests are up. No mention of what the DA is doing with all those arrests, or how long people arrested for violent crimes actually spend in jail.
Why the hell does anyone want to live in NYC?
