Crime on the subway in general has jumped 41% this year compared to where it was 2021, according toCNNcitation of NYPD statistics in October when 1,813 incidents had taken place compared to 1,282 during the same time period in 2021.
“We can’t get away from the fact we have three and a half million people using our subway system,” Mayor Eric Adams said in October, perWNYW. “Those average of six crimes a day is not giving the impression that our system is out of control. We’re dealing with the perception of fear that people are feeling.”
Breaking down the killings that occurred on the MTA in 2022, the local Fox station shared a timeline of each incident. On New Year’s Day, a good samaritan was killed attempting to help someone who was being attacked in the Bronx.
Other incidents that occurred on the subway this year include a shooting at Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer station in April, an unprovoked shooting in May, a 14-year-old being stabbed to death in July, at least three stabbings in September and October, a shooting on the A line in October, a fight that resulted in a man being run over in October, and the most-recent December stabbing.
