Statistics show that it may not be just a feeling. While violent crime in the subway has fluctuated in the past few years, there has been a substantial increase in key categories since before the coronavirus pandemic.
Felony assaults in the system are up 55 percent since 2019. Murders rose from three in 2019 to 10 in the year that just ended. In 2024, people were pushed to the tracks at least 25 times — about once every two weeks — compared with 20 times in 2019.
Even the NYTs says you are full of ****.
