The discussion invites broader reflection on public safety trends in the park.
Ugh I get Central Park wasn’t very safe in the early 2000s but it was genuinely starting to feel safer in the late 2010s. Seeing as this happened on E 72nd makes it even more sad. Hope this is just a one off tragedy and that this doesn’t continue submitted by /u/Much_Replacement6961 [link] [comments]
