Brooklyn residents disagree with new NYPD subway crime data
NYPD Deputy Chief of Transit Keith Shine, announced during Monday's MTA board meeting that the reduction is driven by drops in robberies, felony assaults and grand larcenies.
Subway crime is down nearly 25% this year compared to last, according to police, but residents tell News 12 they don't feel it.
“Sometimes you hear statistics come out on TV and the news, and it doesn’t match with my physical personal experience in the subway," said Kaison, a Brownsville resident.

"The latest figures show a continuing downward trend in subway crime," said Shine.
In October, 64-year-old Nicola Tanzi, was attacked and killed inside the Jay Street subway station in Downtown Brooklyn.
“It’s like a whole another world down there, sometimes it feel like there's no law no order, sometimes it feels like you are by yourself, every man got to fend for themselves," said Kaison.
