The Huntington Bank on Clifton is near the W. 117th Street border, which has seen an uptick in notable crime recently. In late February, for instance, someone fired a gun into a man's car as he drove toward W. 117th and Berea. That bullet traveled through the driver's windshield but did not cause him any harm.
