New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending the National Guard to the NYC subway system.The governor announced plans Wednesday to deploy around 750 National Guard members, as well as 250 state troopers and transit officers, to help the NYPD conduct random bag checks at some of the city's busiest subway stations."I'm the governor of the state of New York," Hochul said in an exclusive interview Thursday on Good Day New York.
""If people know they're being watched, that there's a camera that will record if they harm someone, assault, bring out a gun, have a knife, they're going to get caught," Hochul said. "I think that's going to have a powerful effect on the psychology of the criminals."Bag searches were seen being enforced Thursday morning at the Grand Central subway stop.According to the MTA, there are 472 stations across NYC.
