Eric Adams Addresses Shooting of Off-Duty Customs Officer in Riverside Park

Published | Video Starts at 05:00

In less than one year, he has inflicted violence in our city. And once he is charged for last night's crimes, we will be able to add attempted murder to his rap sheet. This individual also had an extradition warrant from Massachusetts for kidnapping and was the subject of a federal deportation order after illegally entering the country in 2023. Violence of this kind will never, never be accepted in this city. We want to thank our partners and again, our heart goes out to the family members who are involved in all New Yorkers. (05:00–05:15)
