Description

Mayor Adams reports that police data show the majority of those arrested Tuesday night for protesting at Columbia and CUNY were students. In other news, a Manhattan landlord already jailed for failing to complete hundreds of court-ordered repairs now faces additional legal problems. WNYC's David Brand reports on criminal charges that were unsealed Wednesday. Additionally, six Manhattan officials are urging the Department of Transportation to fill a gap in the protected bike lane along Sixth Avenue. Finally, a year after subway rider Jordan Neely died when another passenger, Daniel Penny, put him in a chokehold on the F train, the case remains a focal point in politically polarized debates about homelessness, mental illness, and the fine line between danger and discomfort in shared spaces like train cars. WNYC’s David Furst speaks with reporter Samantha Max to learn more.
