EXCLUSIVE: London Tube users take note: hundreds of crimes have been reported on the Underground, and criminals shoving people over the rails are becoming more common.
The London Underground is reportedly turning into a haven for criminal activity. Here, violent crimes are becoming more common, which essentially validates the underground. According to the report, since Sadiq Khan was elected Mayor of London, there has been a significant rise in crime. According to the research, 2023 was the worst year in this category. The startling statistic of 22,562 crimes alleged to have occurred within the tube between January and December 2023 is also included in the Mail Online investigation.
This is 66 percent greater than what occurred in 2022, according to the report. Based on data gathered by Mail Online, the investigation reveals that during the 15-year period from 2009 to 2004, the crime rate has steadily increased. Based on a million travellers, the crime rate has been steadily rising. Nonetheless, a thorough examination of the crime rate graph reveals that it has been declining between 2009 and 2016.
The Tube had a crime rate of only 7.3% when Sadiq Khan became Mayor of London. It increased to 24.9 percent in 2023. The startling reality is that the most recent data for the first three months of 2024 shows little promise. 6,319 offences from the Underground were reported in January, February, and March. In other words, almost 70 crimes are reported from this location each day.
Notably, this report is released at a time when social media has been buzzing with stories about anti-Semitic attacks, racist attacks, and attempted sexual assaults on the Tube. Unknown individuals pushed a man to death from an escalator at London’s Waterloo station. According to the research, numerous occurrences that are comparable have been discovered.
