The Upper West Side has devolved into a Wild West atmosphere where anything goes, terrified crime victims and neighbors begging for more cops told The Post.
Criminals are more emboldened than ever in the ritzy nabe — with robberies soaring over 30% compared to last year — and carjackers so brazen they flashed their guns without concern on consecutive Sundays in broad daylight.
“I have never felt so scared in this neighborhood the way I feel now,” one of the carjacking victims told The Post this week.
The woman, who wished to remain anonymous for fear for her safety, had just parked her $245,000 2024 Mercedes G Wagon at West 83rd and Broadway on Nov. 17 at 10 a.m. when two men who pulled up alongside her in a grey Acura and pointed “big and dark grey” guns at her chest.
“‘Give me your f—ing purse! Where’s the f—ing keys?’” the men barked at the woman, 44, who has worked at a nearby hair salon for the last 20 years.
“I was so scared…I was screaming so much,” she recalled.
Cops later found the Mercedes in The Bronx and returned it, according to the woman, who also said the thieves had unsuccessfully tried to remove the computer from the dashboard, causing nearly $50,000 worth of damage.
“I am not doing very good…every person who passes by me with a mask, I start shaking. It’s so scary,” said the still-terrified woman.
Carjackers with a nearly identical MO struck again a week later.
Jenny Zhou was putting into her $100,000 BMW X7 outside of her Riverside Boulevard building on Nov. 24 at around noon when the creeps approached in the same Acura.
When a Good Samaritan tried to intervene, the men again flashed a gun, she said.

Keep electing those Democrats!
I liked it better when politicians could call in a favor from the mob to take care of this kind of thing...
Fifty cerceses bet that that “woman” voted for her local inept, low T/IQ DemocRAT.
Suck it up, you want corruption, you’ve got it.

Robbers will go where the money is.
Some New Yorkers are slowly coming around, having voted for Trump. But unless they realize that they must consistently vote GOP down-ballot too, their cause is lost.
Yep.
If they don’t care about their situation I don’t see why I should.
o much so that many in the famously liberal neighborhood — which reportedly donated the most dough to Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in the five boroughs– are imploring the NYPD for more law enforcement.
“elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies.
I can just see New York Liberals carrying single action Colt 45 pistols for protection from the bad old immigrants.
62 now but when I was a kid, the barber where my dad took us, the joke was every 5th haircut went into the till for Uncle Sam purposes. Italian father/son business.
90% for Harris. Eff them.
This is just Democrat Party members ‘spreading their joy.’ Nothing to see here. Move along.
Yep. Even DC in the right hands can only do so much. They need to be voting for a better political party for their governor, state attorney general, state legislature, and city majors.
Chickens coming home to roost.

How does a person working at a hair salon afford a $240,000 Mercedes?
EMBRACE THE SUCK YOU VOTED FOR!
What a nice place for retirement /S
