Lhota: NYC is ‘one bad mayor away from unsafe streets’

Joe Lhota said Thursday he’d be scared to walk the streets if Bill de Blasio beats him in the race for mayor.

At a campaign stop in a crime-ridden Brooklyn neighborhood, the Republican candidate said the city is “one bad mayor away from unsafe streets.”

And when asked if he would fear for his personal safety under a de Blasio administration, Lhota (right) — who’s been bashing his Democratic opponent as soft on crime — answered: “Absolutely.”
