Have situational awareness and walk to the other side of the street if you see someone who makes you uncomfortable. The best thing to do is to stay away from known dangerous areas with specific demographics that are prone to violence (I don't have to spell it out) and try to stay inside at night or at least only go out in trafficked areas at night.
Be careful when approaching homeless people because a lot have mental illness.
That's what NYC does to some people! Fills them with hatred and vitriol!! There's a ton of truth to what I said though.

I just wear a hockey mask and dirtbike padding everywhere. Also I drove some huge nails through the end of a baseball bat so I have a spiked club for protection. I feel pretty safe on the subway.
