Robberies and assaults are skyrocketing in Central Park, leaving tourists and lifelong New Yorkers on edge thanks to a troubling mix of violent teens, unhinged vagrants and lawless migrants roaming the troubled green space.

There’s been a 222% spike in the number of robberies so far in 2024, compared to the same point in 2023, NYPD data show.

This year’s 29 incidents already surpasses the total number reported in 2019, according to the data.

The NYPD said the department has deployed more officers throughout Central Park to combat the current crime trends.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I was in NYC last week but, sadly, I failed to visit Central Park. :whistle:
