From subway attacks to shootings, violent crime is surging in New York City -- a startling reversal after years of record declines.

On Thursday, a 40-year-old woman was shoved onto the subway tracks in Manhattan's Union Square station just before a train pulled in. She fell between the rails and a row bed, police said, escaping with minor injuries. A suspect was immediately arrested.

Hours earlier on Wednesday night, a man was shoved onto the tracks of the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station by a panhandler after refusing to give him money, authorities said. The victim was able to get back on the platform and wasn't seriously hurt. A suspect was arrested.

Alex Weisman, a member of the original cast of Broadway's "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," was attacked at an Upper West Side station Tuesday afternoon. He suffered fractures around his eye that required surgery.

When I was in NYC 5 years ago, and 2 years ago, whenever I waited on a subway, I always stayed back far enough so that if anyone came behind me with the inclination to give me a shove, I would have had room to hit the pavement. They would then have had to pick up 200 lbs. to force me onto the tracks.

Paranoid? No, not me!

>>MHO, this is the low point for NYC.

I personally doubt this is the low spot. Lots more pain ahead.

Whenever I ride the NYC subway I always stand well away from the tracks until the train is actually in front of me. I know that Bellevue can only hold so many schizophrenics.

What could possibly go wrong when a city elects a Communist Mayor?

A bottom is almost impossible to call. China may come roaring back before NYC. Same system of government; the Chinese just do it better.

Sadly, I don't think you are joking. I did spot quite a few. I also had quite a few conversations with nice NYC people. It helps to be older and non threatening.
