A recent wave of violent crime in and around New York City's Times Square has put people on edge. And on November 15, a homeless man was stabbed twice in the middle of Times Square. 'I don't know if it's the greatest at night [in Times Square],' said Robert, who declined to give his last name. It was scary out here,' Nick told Daily Mail. The Daily Mail approached the mayor's office as well as Mamdani's transition team for comment.
