Other vandalism acts by suspect
A few days afterward, on December 2, the New York suspect then went into a Manhattan Financial District apartment building and proceeded to draw an upside-down cross on the that building’s elevator doors. The suspect then proceeded to draw several pro-supremacist symbols and once again, drew a male body organ on the other apartment doors as well as leaving his tag, “Max G was here.”
Then the suspect, on Monday, December, 18th, gained access to another Manhattan apartment complex located near N.

New York City police data shows overall crime rates have declined
In other crime news, the latest New York City police data shows that overall crime rates in the city, in 2017, are the lowest it has ever been since the 1950s, the Hill reported.
The total number of crimes, as of Sunday, was 94,806 that included all felony categories such as rape, vehicle thefts, murder, and burglary. Overall, 286 New York citizens were murder this year. Although cases of rape were lower for the year, there were increased reported rapes due to the “#metoo” hashtag movement which may have helped more victims to contact law enforcement as the cases of misdemeanor sex crimes had increased overall. The other data showed that officers had to fire their weapons only 23 times this year, lower than the 37 times in 2016, and it appears that the officers are using their stun guns more often than using their firearm.
