Evening Roundup: Mamdani Walks Back NYPD Criticisms, Gov. Hochul Open to Charging Teens as Adults, Changes to Chinatown’s Canal Street, and Surveillance Tech Could Identify Your Walk

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is walking back criticisms he leveled at the NYPD in 2020 during the George Floyd protests. Plus, Gov. Hochul says she’s open to charging more teenagers as adults following an uptick in youth defendants committing more serious crimes. Also, officials say they're installing barriers and sand-filled barrels in front of pedestrian crossings at Canal Street and Bowery. And finally, the way you walk may soon be enough to reveal your identity through gait recognition technology. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
