The mayor of New York City and governor of New York rolled out a new subway safety plan, and five people were stabbed in the subway system in the following days.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams stood with NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Friday morning at a Manhattan subway station and took the wraps off a new plan to combat transit crime in the city.The latest attacks add to a mounting toll that threaten to derail the city's economic recovery. Major crimes in transit are up 65% this year - an average of one victim every four hours, around the clock.
Adams and Hochul acknowledge that office workers won't return to their offices post-COVID, and the city's economy won't bounce back in full, if people don't feel safe getting around the city. That was the impetus behind the to add cops and mental health teams to the system and more actively enforce the laws that are already on the books.Just before 3 p.m. Saturday, on the 3 train platform at Livonia and Van Siclen Avenue in Brooklyn, a man punched a 20-year-old woman in the back, police said. They argued, and the man pulled a knife and stabbed the woman three times in the abdomen.
Around 8:30 p.m. Saturday, a 24-year-old man was on the mezzanine at the W. 168th Street station in Manhattan when cops say two teens approached him and tried to rob him. A struggle ensued and he was stabbed once in the leg with a boxcutter. The suspects fled the scene.
