I don\u2019t really know why.\u201d Her mother Carole added, \u201cMy husband and I were completely floored. We were like what the hell just happened?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take long for the Dowlings to get a completely different perspective from their previous visit to New York City in June 2019, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Carole Dowling said of the brief visit this time, \u201cWe have seen everything. We\u2019ve seen people shooting up drugs. The first time we were in New York it was never like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Dowling said she wouldn\u2019t feel safe if she took the subway. \u201cImagine if I\u2019m by myself, and I don\u2019t know anybody. There\u2019s just no point to stay and risk that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dowlings said they were so taken aback, they didn\u2019t think of filing a police report,\u201d CBS2 added.<\/p>\n<p>Dowling\u2019s concern about taking the subway is not without evidence. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/06\/nyc-subway-violence-continues-with-5-new-incidents-cops-say\/\">On\u00a0Wednesday<\/a>, an off-duty MTA conductor was stabbed in the left eye and ear and cut on the forehead, and another man was stabbed with an ice pick in two incidents on the New York City subway; in early April, a man <a href=\"https:\/\/newyork.cbslocal.com\/2021\/04\/24\/man-bit-woman-on-subway\/\">allegedly punched<\/a> a 61-year-old woman\u2019s head multiple times on a subway in Brooklyn. He fled when the train got to the Atlantic Avenue station.<\/p>\n<p>In late March, the NYPD <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/subway-attack-beating-man-attacked-j-train\/10457500\/\">started an investigation<\/a> after video showed a man repeatedly punching another man in the head on the subway, then choking him until he looked as if he were unconscious.<\/p>\n<p>Although the NYPD is planning to add 80 uniformed officers in the Midtown Manhattan area, Dan Biederman, president of the 34th Street Partnership, cautioned, \u201cIt\u2019ll be great to have the troops. The problem is there\u2019s a limit to what they can do given the attitude of the district attorneys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew numbers from the NYPD show violent crime has been on the rise in New York City in the past month. The department says in the 28-day period from March 8 to April 4, there\u2019s been a 95% jump in shootings compared to the same time period last year,\u201d CBS 2 reportedon April 10.<\/p>\n<p>In late April, the NYPD\u2019s Sergeants Benevolent Association\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SBANYPD\/status\/1386652751724228608\">tweeted<\/a>, \u201cMayor de Blasio has allocated 30 million dollars to bring tourism to NYC.
