Bragg admits he's fearful of crime on NYC subways

[NYPOST] Even Manhattan’s progressive top prosecutor is fearful of crime on the subway system.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg admitted his alarm when asked Tuesday about the perception of many New Yorkers that the Big Apple is under siege and becoming increasingly unsafe.

"I know the statistics that transit crime is down, but when one of my family members gets on the train, I, too, get a knot in my stomach," Bragg confessed in an interview with FOX5.

The soft-on-criminals prosecutor appeared to reference the latest NYPD data that show major crime in the city’s subway system being down 4.6% in the first six months of this year compared to the same period in 2022.

But last month alone, transit crime actually spiked more than 18%, with 195 incidents compared to the 165 over the course of June last year, the data shows.

Among the savage incidents last month was a string of subway slashings in which alleged maniac Kemal Rideout, 28, attacked three women over a 20-minute span on June 18 in Manhattan.

#2 If you fail to prosecute any crimes, the statistics will look excellent. Unfortunately for Bragg, people are not morons.

#4 Yes, similar to how Scandinavian countries have "better than USA" infant mortality rates because any newborn deemed "unviable" isn't counted in their stats.

#5 Oh yeah? When was the last time that fat toad or any of his family ever rode the subway? You're trying to tell me they don't ride around in limousines at taxpayers' expense?
