One of the victims was stabbed in the face, while the other was injured in the neck. Umbiera had been released from prison the day before the attacks after he was arrested for throwing a knife at police and refusing to let go. In March, event planner Lauren Pazienza, 26, was accused of organizing events for allegedly pushing to death an 87-year-old Broadway vocal coach on a Manhattan sidewalk while on a “wine rampage.” Across the city, major crime in New York increased by 38 percent this year compared to last year, with robberies increasing by 39 percent, burglaries increasing by 34 percent and criminal attacks increasing by 19 percent . Sex crimes have also risen, with rape as defined by the FBI at 14% so far this year compared to last year, and other sex crimes at 13%. However, homicides have dropped by 13 percent since last year and shooting deaths have dropped by 9 percent, gains that Adams and police attribute to the push to get illegal weapons off the streets. New York Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer, has often spoken out against crime in the city, but has been criticized for failing to bring the issue under control. Adams blamed the issue on lax gun control laws and a judicial system that quickly frees repeat offenders.
