As New York City tries to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayor Eric Adams met with business leaders Thursday to reassure them curbing subway violence is a priority.
CHINATOWN, Manhattan -- New York City offices could be half filled by September, the head of an influential business group said after a meeting with top business leaders convened by Mayor Eric Adams Thursday afternoon.
"There's some good news in terms of the efforts that the mayor and NYPD are making to fight gun violence and crime," Partnership for New York City President and CEO Kathryn Wylde said."But at the same time, the mayor emphasized that theres a sense of lawlessness, disrespect for the law and for the police that's developed over the last couple years.
"Obviously, this week is a terrible week," MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said."This week, I cannot say to any of New York City subway riders, don't feel afraid, because what happened is a terrifying nightmare."
