It’s not free evasion the city has to worry about...

Based on the search results, the number of New York subway attacks has fluctuated over the past few years, with some increases and decreases reported. Here are the key statistics:
In 2023, there were 1,120 violent index crimes reported on the subway, compared to 935 in 2019, representing a 20% increase.
From January 1 to March 3, 2024, there were 388 incidents reported on the subway, compared to 343 during the same period in 2023, indicating a 13.1% increase.
In the first quarter of 2024 (January 1 to March 31), there were 538 subway crimes recorded, averaging six crimes per day.
Felony assaults on the subway dropped 11% in early 2024 compared to the previous year (49 vs. 55).
However, attacks on trains that left victims injured jumped 53% from 373 in 2019 to 570 in 2023.
I wonder if there is any data on ethnicity of subway crime perpetrators.
