NEW YORK — Tying an ongoing spike in New York City crime to trends across the country, Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday called for “a national and local approach” to violence.
The comments came as the city was still reeling from last Tuesday’s subway rampage in which 10 people were shot.
Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell credited a NYPD manhunt and alert to New Yorkers for the Wednesday arrest of suspect Frank James, who called a tip line on himself.
