NEW YORK CITY (77WABC) – Mayor Eric Adams wasted no time getting to work on his first day in office. While heading to City Hall Saturday the mayor saw three men fighting on a street below and called 911.
Adams and several reporters were gathered around on the elevated Brooklyn platform waiting for a train to arrive when Adams called 911 using his cell phone.
He can be heard saying to the 911 operator, “Yes, I’m at Broadway and Kosciusko, waiting for the J train, “And I have an assault in progress, 3 males.” At the end of the call, he identified himself as “Adams, Mayor Adams,”
Reporter footage then pans through a window to the street below, where a sidewalk assault is in progress.The joy of doing this is you’re carrying out an observation. If it’s happening on the J line it’s happening on the 4 line, it’s happening on the 5 line, the B line. So we have to think, ‘What are we doing proactively?’ ” Adams said.According to WNBC reporter, Myles Miller, police arrived and left.
