NEW YORK CITY – New
York subway riders are weighing in after Gov. Kathy Hochul sent in the
National Guard and state troopers to help the NYPD secure Big Apple
subway stations amid fears of crime and chaos.
Many support the move after recent mayhem included surveillance video showing a man at a Manhattan subway station hurling flaming cans at people through a turnstile.
Random shoving attacks on the city's subway platforms have left people killed or severely injured by oncoming trains, and last week an ex-con was accused of ditching his ankle monitor before shoving his ex into a moving train in Manhattan during an argument.
A conductor who survived having his neck slashed at random on the job told the New York Post over the weekend he never plans to get on another subway train.
And straphangers have reported incidents of indecent exposure and other deviant behavior they say increased police patrols would combat. Read more and see videos here.
