Some quick googling gives me the following figures:

https://www.chopranocerino.com/blog/new-york-accident-statis....

> There were 5,809 crashes on the busy streets of Manhattan in 2023. The borough reported 34 deaths (19 pedestrians, 11 motorists, and 4 cyclists). In total, there were 7,253 injuries.

https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-t...

> ...there were 1,120 violent index crimes reported as occurring on the subway in 2023, compared to 935 in 2019

Even comparing just Manhattan to the subway system as a whole, driving is more likely to result in an injury by a factor of 7x.
