NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea on Friday fired back at Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his concerns about subway crime — snipping, “I stopped listening a long time ago.”
The top cop, appearing on Fox 5’s “Good Day New York,” was peppered with questions about recent violence on the rails in light of the unprovoked attack on Gerard Sykes, an off-duty MTA conductor, on a J train at Crescent Street on Wednesday night.
Two days earlier, Cuomo had pointed the finger at his political foe and Shea’s boss, Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio, for turning the subways into a rolling homeless shelter, claiming the situation was worse than even during the “dangerous” 1970s.
Cuomo also said this past week, “I’m not telling my child to ride the subway, because I’m afraid for my child.”
