The day before, yesterday morning a young man was stabbed in a Subway car in Brooklyn, in the middle of a spree caused by the same attacker who was later arrested in Queens.
In New York City The number of stabbings and cuts continues to rise. There were 4,493 cases in 2023 until early December, an increase of 6% compared to the same period in 2022. In parallel arrests for knife crimes have increased almost 30%.
The figures do not surprise experts because knives are simply easier and cheaper to get than a gun. However, They represent a more brutal attack because they involve more physical approach to the victim.
A previous NYPD report warned last August that fatal stabbings had risen 29% that year in the city compared to before the pandemic (2019). Attacks with knives have become more frequent in various scenarios: streets, buildings, homes, buses, Metro, parties, schools and even commercial establishments and ATM areas.
Since taking office in January 2022, the alcalde Eric Adams, ex NYPD, announced several times that the number of NYPD officers in the subway system would double in a reinforced security plan to confront violence in the chaotic NYC Subway. But the violence has continued.
