Stabbings and slashings are surging this year across New York City – skyrocketing 26% since 2019, according to disturbing new NYPD data obtained by The Post.

Since Jan. 1 through Aug. 13, the city has seen 3,365 nonfatal stabbings, compared to 2,666 four years ago. The number is also up 5% from the same period last year, which saw 3,208 nonfatal incidents of knife violence.

So far this year, 53 people have died by blade — a shocking 29% increase from 41 in 2019. The tally is down 23% from 2022, which saw 69 people killed by knives.

“Everyone carries them now,” according to a Brooklyn cop with more than 20 years on the job, who also said knives are simply easier and cheaper to get than a gun — and far less risky.

Maybe NYC can sell anti-stab vests at a discount to the citizens though Whites should pay more so Blacks and Latinos could pay less.

From the deluge of New York license plates here in the South Carolina Upcountry, I should think that there wouldn't be anybody left up there to stab.

Someone was stabbed to death right across the street from me a week ago.

Cops shot him dead.

In London, the Muzzies carry vials of acid and if you confront them for any reason they will throw the acid on you.

Don't they have controls on who can get access to these industrial chemicals? ;)

From the link:

"The suspect’s relative told police the man was off his medication and under the influence of marijuana, said Bastedenbeck."

Now that figures. The suspect was "off his meds". ;)
