You’ve likely seen the footage of the robberies and attempted burglaries that took place at Union Square this weekend, and I want to provide you with an update on what took place and the actions we’re taking.
When these types of incidents occur, they undermine all of our efforts to promote our economic recovery and encourage people to visit our City. They result in residents and visitors feeling unsafe. We will not accept this as a normal occurrence. It is not, and it will not be tolerated.
