Midday News: Subway Crime at Historic Lows but Felony Assaults Rise, Van Gogh Exhibit Opens in the Bronx, and New Jersey Braces for Wildfire Season

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

According to new police data, subway crime in New York City is at historic lows. However, felony assaults on trains are up 20 percent. Meanwhile, a new exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx pays tribute to Vincent Van Gogh. Plus, forest fire season is underway in New Jersey. Major wildfires in both the north and south of the state over the past year have put large areas at risk. Eric Weber, assistant division fire warden for the state Forest Fire Service, joins us to talk about how to reduce that risk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
