Central. Looks like the perp fled northbound from 53rd Street. Fled northbound from West 53, 10-4. Do we know when to which direction that was? I know, just left that subway in there. Alright, 10-4. I'll start canvassing north of 53rd Street. 10-4.

Republican/ Democrat it doesn’t matter.. Crime is going to happen.. DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILDREN! They are the main ones out here committing crimes. The laws need to change 13 and up should be treated as adults throughout the penal system. They know right from wrong at that age.
