Now Javier is suing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and NYC Transit in Manhattan Federal Court, alleging the agencies have been aware for decades that riders aren’t safe and have done nothing to protect them from the “known problem” of the violent mentally ill.
Last year, 29 people were pushed onto the subway tracks, the NYPD said, a 45% increase from 2019 when 20 riders shoved. Anthonia Egegbara, 29, was arrested for allegedly shoving Lenny Javier into a moving subway train in October 2021 in Times Square.. Egegbara was charged with a misdemeanor, but the case was dropped when she was found unfit, a DA spokeswoman said.
She claims transit officials have ignored such solutions despite more than 100 people seriously hurt each year after either falling onto the tracks or coming into contact with moving trains, and “more than 30 years of statistics.”
