Mayor Eric Adams on Friday marked the one-year anniversary of his administration’s Partnership Assistance for Transit Homelessness (PATH) program, touting record-low subway crime before the event erupted into a heated exchange over a tabloid report about a former City Hall official and a romantic partner’s new memoir.

Speaking at the 42nd Street–Times Square subway station alongside Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Adams said the PATH program had contacted more than 20,100 people living in the subway system and that outreach workers have provided shelter, meals, and medical treatment over 6,100 times.
