NYPD and employees of DHS assist a homeless man at subway station as Mayor Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch visited the station
Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD brass got a firsthand look at the desolate homeless wasteland inside the Big Apple subway system in an eye-opening overnight tour of the city’s transit vagrant crisis.
“Everyone must do their part and we need Albany to step up,” Adams said. “If we’re on the ground talking about what we need on the ground, they need to assist us by giving us what we need. Adams was tagging along with the city’s Partnership Assistance for Transit Homelessness, or PATH, team, which ventures across Manhattan from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. in an outreach effort with staffers from the NYPD, the Department of Homeless Services and health department as part of the crew.
“What you’re seeing here is the perfect example of the city realizing that you can’t arrest your way out of a problem,” she said. “This is the perfect example of the police partnering with clinicians and providing care for people who need care.”LeBron James steps away from Lakers for 'personal reasons' as he plays some of the worst basketball of his career
