There will be an increased police presence around New York City after Iran launched about 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday.
"New Yorkers will notice a high visibility, enhanced deployment of NYPD personnel in their communities because we wanted to make sure New Yorkers are safe," Mayor Eric Adams said.
The move by the NYPD also comes ahead of October 7th, which marks one year since the terror attack on Israel. Security was already going to be stepped up, but Iran's attack caused police to act even sooner.
"We are taking every necessary step to ensure the safety of everyone in this city," Adams said.
