Felony assaults on New York City subways jumped 53 percent during 2023 compared to the same type of assaults during 2019, according to statistics reported by the New York Post.
The Post noted there were 570 felony assaults reported in 2023, which is roughly 200 more than were reported in 2019.
Moreover, felony assaults resulting in “substantial injury” made up 25 percent of major crimes on NYC trains during 2023 whereas the same type of assaults with the same type of injuries constituted only 15 percent of major crimes on trains in 2019.
The Post pointed out that police and transit workers are not immune to the violence either: “100 cops and 60 transit employees were assaulted in the system in 2023; both figures were up sharply from 2019 when 71 cops and 32 transit employees were assaulted.”
