Breaking news of violence at Flatbush Gardens.

1010 WINS New York's #1 source for local news, traffic and weather - Man Stabbed on East Flatbush Subway Platform

The thing about this is, FBG won't report this as a violent crime committed at the complex, when they say "we've reduced violent crime by X%". Even though, everyone who lives at FBG uses the Newkirk metrostop. Oh well. We'll wait for the full details. From a selfish safety standpoint, random violence = big deal, pre-existing relationship = less of a big deal.

Great, it takes an act of violence 2 blocks away to get my girlfriend to say, "Yeah, we need to get out of here." but when it happens above our bedroom, it's an "Isolated act." In either event, this is most unfortunate, and since up until about a week ago I would normally be coming home around that time, I am particularly concerned.

Yeah the chopper woke me up at 6 this morning. Nice to know that this happened at midnight and they were not looking for the suspect until 6am. Do you know which direction it was on? I know they never have anyone in the booth at the southbound side and the MTA is planning to close that booth all together. Maybe this never would have happened if someone was there.
