A new banking crisis has hit the Big Apple: vagrants and addicts are commandeering ATM vestibules.
A new banking crisis has hit the Big Apple: vagrants and addicts are commandeering ATM vestibules, snoozing and shooting up in locations with 24/7 service.
At a Citibank on the 5th Avenue and E. 37th Street, a strung-out couple sat on the ground, shooting up what appeared to be heroin, forcing customers to wait till morning to make withdrawals. A hooded tramp squatted in a TD Bank on the corner of Lexington Avenue and E. 45th Street while a beggar panhandled for change outside.
A desperate man muscled open a locked ATM door to take shelter from the rain at a Chase Bank on Lexington Avenue near E. 43rd Street.Matt Roberts, president of the 17th Precinct Community Council, which covers Midtown East neighborhoods including Murray Hill and Sutton Place, said the issue has hit full-blown crisis level.“The banks have been putting pressure on the police department for some enforcement, and my pushback to them is just lock your doors,” he said at a meeting Tuesday.
A Citibank spokesperson did not comment on the assault of the officers and said the bank has no plans to discontinue 24/7 ATM service.
