Major crimes reported on the New York City subway system rocketed 17% during the first five weeks of the new year, the Gothamist reported. The uptick in crime is likely a result of more people relying on the subway system during the extreme cold, a police spokesperson said to the outlet. According to NYPD data, there were 246 major crime incidents on the subway in the first five weeks of 2026, compared with 210 for the same period a year earlier.
