DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED CITIES IN MELTDOWN - THE BLACK CRIME TIDAL WAVE SWEEPING AMERICA - Pictures: Downtown Philadelphia Mass Shooting Leaves 3 Dead, 11 Wounded
A disturbing scene unfolded in Chelsea, Manhattan, on Tuesday at a Duane Reade once a man was accused of stealing merchandise.
The incident occurred at 1:40 p.m. inside the store located at 27th Street and 6th avenue, ABC 7 reported Friday.
According to officers, a man allegedly stole approximately $1,745 worth of items and, as he left the shop, threatened to hurt the workers on duty at the time.
“Then about 10 minutes later, he returned with a bike chain and started swinging,” the outlet said.
Video footage showed the suspect wearing a white t-shirt and a backward baseball cap leaning over the counter with the chain.
He then pushed his way behind the counter, following two individuals who were trying to avoid him, and appeared to swing the chain at them as they huddled together.
The New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) 13th Precinct shared a photo of the suspect on Thursday and asked citizens for help in identifying him:
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) made fighting crime a top issue during his campaign in November, but a recent poll found his failure to deliver on those promises was being criticized by voters, Breitbart News reported on May 5:
A survey by Quinnipiac University shows crime is the top concern of 49 percent of city voters — more than triple the 15 percent of respondents who cited affordable housing and 12 percent homelessness.
However just 37 percent of city residents approved of Adams’s performance on crime, compared to 54 percent who disapproved.
…
Adams, a retired transit cop, made law and order the cornerstone of his bid for City Hall. But violent crime has mostly worsened during his four months in office with no sign yet of an end to the violence as an overwhelming majority of voters (86 percent) support having more police officers in the New York City subway system, while 12 percent oppose it.
The workers involved in the recent incident, a 42-year-old and a 60-year-old woman, suffered cuts and swelling, according to the ABC 7 report.
The suspect was described as being in his 40s, five feet, eleven inches tall, and weighing approximately 185 pounds.

Gunfire killed three people and wounded another 11 late Saturday night in Philadelphia’s most popular downtown entertainment district, authorities said.
AP reports patrolling police officers on crowded South Street witnessed multiple gunshots and saw several suspects firing into a large gathering just before midnight, Police Inspector D. F. Pace said during a news conference.
An officer shot at one of the suspects from about 30 feet away, but it is unclear if the suspect was hit, Pace said. “You can imagine there were hundreds of individuals just enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend, when this shooting broke out.”

Police recovered two guns at the scene, but have not made an arrest, Pace said, before confirming at least 14 people had been shot.
Officials earlier had said 13 people were injured as they warned locals to avoid the area, ABC News reports.
The Thomas Jefferson University Hospital told NBC News nine victims were taken there for treatment, two of whom were dead on arrival. The other seven were in stable condition, they said.
Police said other victims were transported to two additional area hospitals.
