Earlier this month in a nearby area of Harlem, a group of men were pictured taking drugs out in the open near La Marqueta marketplace. 

Photos and video of the men lying on Park Avenue between 115th E Street and 116 E Street outside the small but popular marketplace show them casually using needles to inject drugs into their arms and over the weekend.

One of the men removed his shoe so he could inject his foot in order to get high at the small but popular marketplace

The following day, seven other men were pictured at the same spot taking drugs together

The men sit underneath the railway surrounded by bags of their belongings and an overturned Citi bike, and photos of the block the following day show even more men shooting up drugs at the site.

Although the area is primarily a shopping district, many families pass by the marketplace as it borders the Cooke School Institute, which teaches special education students from ages 5 to 21, as well as the P.S. 57 and and P.S. 155 Elementary Schools.

The marketplace is also nearby the New York City Housing Authority’s East Harlem office and the East Harlem Neighborhood Health Action Center.

The scene comes despite NYC Mayor Eric Adam’s vow to crackdown on homelessness and crime in the city, which is up nearly 40 percent from last year.
