Eric Adams Calls 911 To Report Assault 1st Day As Mayor: Reports

BROOKLYN, NY — Eric Adams is bringing his former police captain days to City Hall in more ways than one.

The freshly sworn-in mayor kicked off his first day on the job with a call to 911 Saturday morning to report a fight near the Kosciuszko Street station in Bed-Stuy, where he waited for a train to City Hall surrounded by a throng of reporters.

“Once a transit cop always a transit cop,” Adams said before the call, watching three men arguing on the street, according to New York Post

As the men started to tussle, Adams took out his phone and called 911.

“Here we go. I knew it was only a matter of time, that’s why I kept looking at it," he told the reporters.

The new mayor told the 911 operator an "assault in progress of three males" was unfolding on the street, identifying himself as “Adams, Mayor Adams" only at the end of the call, according to reports and video.

The call — which brought two police cars to the block — was met with skepticism from some New Yorkers.

"Was this staged? No one tried to help?" one person wrote on Twitter. "They all should be arrested for watching. This can't be real."

The responding officers left without questioning the men, who had stopped fighting, the Post reported.

The morning's events unfolded on a busy first day for Adams, who served on the city's police force for 22 years before his political career.

After his commute from his Bed-Stuy brownstone, Adams held his first cabinet meeting, held a press conference about a police officer who was shot and visited the police precinct in Queens where he was beaten as a teenager.

"Today is an important moment for me as I finally leave the demon right here on these streets, no longer living the trauma I experienced in this precinct, but back as the mayor in charge of the entire police department,” he said.
