'We have a city that is under crisis,' said Audrey Martin, the mother of shoving victim David Martin, who had his collarbone broken by the unprovoked attack in Brooklyn.
Audrey Martin, the mother of shoving victim David Martin, says the new plan unveiled by Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul won’t make the subways safer."We have a city that is under crisis," Martin said.
"My son is completely traumatized," Martin said. "He can't move, he can't cash his check. He can't work."A day after the attack, Audrey learned about Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams' new subway safety plan. The pair have promised more police officers, 1,200 more overtime shifts every day, and two, 25-bed inpatient units for the mentally ill.
Bronx Borough President Vanessa l. Gibson says more cameras and a larger police presence are a start, but locking up people who are sick will not solve the problem.
