Assaults Were Up 225% in Bay Ridge Last Week
The good news is there were no rapes or murders in Bay Ridge this week.
The bad news is that 13 people were assaulted in our area and that’s up 225% from last year (when only four people were assault this week last year)
As you see from the map above, there are only 12 dots. One location on Bay Ridge Avenue had two assaults on March 27th – one at 5:00 am and another at 6:00 am.
Interestingly, almost half of the assaults occurred in the early morning from 1:00 am – 7:00 am.
Most of the afternoon assaults occurred in more high traffic Avenues and street, such as shopping areas, like 86th Street.
From the NYPD Crimestats, Saturday is the day when most assaults happen – none happened in our area on Wednesdays!
To see these Crimestats – go here and pull down Brooklyn South, then pull down 68th Precinct (if you are looking at this at a later date, the stats will have changed….this is for the week 3/21 – 3/27)
The timeline is showing assaults in our area from 1993 – 2022 for this week.
