11h agoMayor Eric Adams spoke to News 12's Amanda Bossard about New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander's arrest on "Ask the Mayor" on Tuesday evening.
Adams told News 12 he didn't know much about the situation surrounding Lander's arrest, but he did address what happened in the hallway of the Manhattan Courthouse for the first time while appearing on News 12's show.
"I don't have the full scope of what happened but I will tell anyone do not do anything that can jeopardize your safety when you're around law enforcement officers or jeopardize the safety of law enforcement officers"
Lander was arrested by federal agents at an immigration court Tuesday after he linked arms with a person that authorities were attempting to detain.
A reporter with The Associated Press witnessed Lander’s arrest at a federal building in Manhattan. The person Lander was walking out of the courtroom was also arrested.
Adams also discussed the death of 2-year-old Montrell Williams, as well as the his decision to ban a reporter from his press conferences.
