New York City Mayor Eric Adams calls New York the laughingstock of the rest of the country due to the state's so-called bail reform laws.
The mayor says the teen had been arrested for robbery a few days before the incident and was released without bail.
The boy has a prior arrest for possession of a loaded gun. That case is being handled in family court because of his age.A wild video released by the police union in New York City showed a teenager punching and choking an NYPD officer who had tried to stop him for allegedly trying to hop over a turnstile to avoid paying to enter the station."Catch, release, repeat," Adams complained about the court system under New York's bail reform laws.
Adams has repeatedly urged state legislators in Albany to amend bail reform laws. He wants an emergency session as the city deals with a crime crisis.He also wants 16 and 17-year-old to be prosecuted as adults for gun charges.In a statement, he said: "The three types of crimes referenced by the mayor are bail eligible and detention can be sought in family court under current law."New York eliminated the cash bail requirement for most nonviolent crimes.
