NYC's year of violence: Crimes that shook the Big Apple in 2024
Briefly

In 2024, New York City experienced a notable surge in violent crimes, including the murder of an NYPD officer and shocking acts of aggression, despite an overall drop in felony crime.
Felony assaults on the streets rose by 5% compared to last year, and murders on public transit more than doubled, reflecting a troubling trend in urban crime.
The tragic death of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, shot during a routine traffic stop, exemplifies the dangers police face daily amid rising violence in the city.
Incidents like the Times Square shooting involving a teen migrant not only highlight the city’s crime challenges but also raise concerns about juvenile crime and public safety.
