Some habits are hard to break.
“The Hub” in the Bronx was drug-riddled business as usual a day after a Post exposé on the armies of junkies and depravity consuming the commercial corridor.
Addicts openly mixed and shot up opioids into their arms and necks, sometimes spilling blood onto the sidewalk, in broad daylight when The Post returned to the area Monday. One may have even overdosed outside a Dunkin’ Donuts.
Many junkies were passed out on benches in Roberto Clemente Plaza, where the dealers brazenly peddled their wares — with seeming impunity and without any increased NYPD presence.
The Post’s reporting prompted the Rev. Ruben Diaz Sr., a former Bronx councilman and state senator, to plead for President-elect Donald Trump to step in and fix The Hub.
The desperate plea to the tough-on-crime incoming president comes as there have been years of sustained — but unsuccessful — efforts to eradicate the drug-ridden problems that plague the “Broadway of the Bronx.”
