Meanwhile, a pervert was spotted touching himself while sitting on the steps of Prince Street tube station in SoHo – watching people go up and down while grabbing his private parts at 10am, as crime appears to be out of control in city. Photos and videos show the scantily clad couple in Union Square — one with electric blue hair — nonchalantly injecting an unknown substance next to a Citi bike. Despite being behind a structure, the hobo duo could be seen by horrified tourists and passers-by as they took the drugs with needles in broad daylight. Caught in the act, the chatty man, wearing a black jacket, looks eerily at people walking up the subway steps as he touches himself inappropriately. He refused to move from the spot despite the fact that innocent bystanders realized what he was doing.
They were shooting with the syringe for nearly 30 minutes and no one questioned or tried to tell law enforcement, according to witnesses.
The horrific scenes come despite New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ pledge to crack down on homelessness and crime in the city, which has risen nearly 40 percent since last year. New Yorkers have grown weary of the latest spike in violence and crime on the city’s streets and subways — as well as widespread looting and physical altercations in many neighborhoods. Homelessness has also increased in the city, with Adams ordering waves of officers to crack down on homeless encampments across the city since March.

In Manhattan’s trendy Chelsea neighborhood, children are reportedly exposed to nudity, sexual acts and drug use, while business owners face constant break-ins. Some said they are pleading with city officials and the police department to do something. And in May, photos and videos of men lying on Park Avenue between 115th E Street and 116 E Street outside a popular market in East Harlem showed men casually using needles to inject drugs into their arms. The men were seen sitting under the rail surrounded by bags of belongings and an overturned Citi bike, and pictures from the block the next day show even more men shooting drugs at the scene. The police did nothing about the strange man sitting on the subway steps, even though he was in the busy SoHo area of ​​New York The couple injecting with a syringe in broad daylight in Manhattan’s busy Union Square Union Square is one of New York’s busiest subway stations – surrounded by shops and grocery stores. The duo, not pictured, were caught using drugs in broad daylight This comes just one day after a thug punched a stranger in the stomach in an unprovoked attack in Midtown Manhattan. The assailant, who has not been identified, was walking at 135 West 36 St in New York City when he attacked the 34-year-old victim from behind – leaving them with a deep wound to their abdomen. Just weeks ago, a woman leaving her job at an IHOP in the city’s Gramercy area was murdered in an execution-style killing by the father of one of her children. Imani Armstrong was shot in the heat on a street corner near Union Square. Clarkson Wilson, 44, was arrested for the heinous crime. He faces charges of murder as well as two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. A man who entered the store with the cart left the Lululemon store with the cart filled with clothing Seven men were photographed taking drugs together in East Harlem in May One of the men took off his shoe so he could inject his foot to get high in the small but popular market Two men were photographed on May 28 taking drugs outdoors at East Harlem’s La Marqueta Market In August, New York’s most prolific criminal, with 167 arrests on his record, appeared in court after he was caught stealing 48 items worth $450 from an Upper East Side Rite Aid. DailyMail.com cameras were in Manhattan Supreme Court as Jamel Pringle, 39, was denied bail for the first time despite New York’s bail reform laws. Police previously joked that because of controversial laws that only offered bail for serious offences, Pringle had accumulated “frequent flyer miles”. Pringle has one felony conviction, 88 misdemeanors and another 39 citations for failure to appear in court. The next closest offender in New York has just 101 arrests. In February, Pringle was arrested early Monday morning for taking 48 items worth more than $430 from a Rite Aid on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on New York’s Upper East Side. A series of clothing robberies in the West Village and SoHo were coordinated by one suspect, the NYPD reports. All breaks took place between July 3 and July 23, often between closing hours. These stores are: Loro Piana, Christian Louboutin, APC, Scotch Soda, Rag & Bone, Meermin Shoes and Bonobos Horrifying surveillance footage shows the victim, 52, crumpled to the floor as he is attacked from behind And luxury stores in the city’s West Village and SoHo have also been hit by thieves in recent months — including the time a gang of seven was recorded calmly walking out of Lululemon with $30,000 worth of gear. They entered the 14th Street and 9th Avenue store with empty shopping carts and bags of laundry, the guard casually glancing at them as they grabbed piles of clothes on August 16. The brazen robbers, targeting the upscale West Village neighborhood, ran out of the store with their finds – without being caught by security. Store surveillance footage showed the thieves going in and out of the store around noon – looting thousands of dollars worth of merchandise as the seemingly indifferent guard, dressed in a white shirt and black tie, stood by.
But violence is also in NYC. A twisted knock-out game that sees violent criminals knocking out strangers for fun is feared to have returned to the crime-ridden city. Nearly 20 of the violent and apparently unmotivated toy knockout incidents have been reported to the NYPD so far this year, including a Bronx man who nearly died after being punched to the ground outside a restaurant. An unprovoked attack was caught on camera on Madison Avenue in midtown Manhattan The shooter at Kings Plaza Mall in South Brooklyn plants his left foot and takes aim squarely at the left cheek The victim appeared to be struck while standing and fell to the ground without supporting himself for impact Other knockout game victims include a 36-year-old man who was filmed being knocked out cold after being hit in the head at a Brooklyn mall and a 74-year-old woman slapped on the sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan earlier last month. Most notably, convicted sex offender and notorious “Born To Kill” gang member Bui Van Fu was caught on blind video outside a Bronx restaurant. On August 12, 2022, shortly before 11 p.m., black and white surveillance footage shows Jesus Cortes, 52, standing outside the Fuego Tipico restaurant on East 188 Street, gathering with his family. Out of nowhere, Phu, who was convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl at gunpoint in 1994, is seen in the video wrapping up behind Cortes and hitting him on the side of the head. Cortes, who never saw the punch coming, crumples to the pavement, cracking his skull. Doctors induced a coma to help with the swelling, and after a few weeks, he was finally off the ventilator. Across town in South Brooklyn, the vicious punches continued on August 20, when a 36-year-old man shopping at Kings Plaza Mall was leveled with a single punch by an apparent stranger. The video shows a man standing in line for the ATM at about 6 p.m. when an attacker approaches from behind, he plants his front leg and hits the unknowing victim squarely on the right cheek.
