Tourist slashed in the face in Chelsea subway station

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 30-year-old Belgian tourist was slashed in the face during an unprovoked attack in a Chelsea subway station Saturday morning, according to police.


Hmmm a knife? Maybe we need knife free zones too

The mental illness in this city has become an epidemic. I don’t know what caused such an extreme rise in the mentally ill. A few days ago I saw a man with a crazed out angry look on his face spitting at people eating outside

Hey you can't single out mentally ill people.

It's better to let them injure and kill than round them up and get them the help they need.

NY politicians currently in power favor criminals and mentally ill over keeping citizens safe.

Drugs? We’ve always had drugs from the crack epidemic of the 1980s to meth users of today. But never have I seen the large numbers of mentally ill people as today.

Why aren't there violent, mentally ill Hasidic Jews, Chinese middle aged ladies, Pakistanis, or Mexicans?

Mental illness exists in all ethnicities. It's interesting how in NYC, violence among the mentally ill seems to only affect a very specific cohort.

Maybe the issue isn't really "mental illness"?

Add this attack to all the reasons than middle-class New Yorkers avoid the subway system as much as possible. I'm sure that this story was also picked up by the press in Europe.

I don't know what Zeldin is doing outside of NYC, but I really wish he would be hammering Hochul and the state Democritters hard on crime in ads in NYC. He would really do some damage hitting her over the head with the bail reform law.
