A recent surge in violent crime on the New York City subway system has left riders reeling, with multiple stabbings and a deadly shove onto the tracks occurring in just one day, as criminals continue to wreak havoc on innocent commuters despite the deployment of 800 additional police officers to patrol the subway system.
On Monday, a 54-year-old man was pushed onto the tracks at the 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station in Harlem and was then fatally struck by an oncoming train. The suspect, 24-year-old Carlton McPherson, has a history of mental health issues and a lengthy rap sheet, including previous arrests for assault and harassment.
The same day, three separate stabbings took place in and around the subway system, leaving several victims injured. These incidents come on the heels of a recent analysis revealing a 53% increase in attacks on trains that left victims injured, comparing 2023 to 2019.
In response to the growing crisis, the city has announced plans to intensify a crackdown on subway fare-beating, deploying at least 800 police officers to monitor turnstiles. However, some critics argue that the focus on fare evasion may not address the root causes of violence on the subway.
As the situation continues to unfold, riders are left to wonder if the increased police presence will be enough to restore safety to the city’s subway system – and if they’re next to suffer.

America is going to the dogs….
Hochul refuses to fire Bragg, because she does not want to cause any upheaval to the only case on her agenda:- Prosecution of a totally innocent person in violation of the 8th amendment:- of President Donald Trump שליט”א the soon to be 47th president of 🇺🇸
Luckily it is not targeting the frum as we have a mayor who says the right things and even appointed the 1st frum chief so clearly we have city hall on our side, what the umos haolam does is their business.
Just another fake news story put out by you racist plantation owners. As our Mayor sanctimoniously lectured us, all violent crime committed by black thugs in our subway system IS ONLY A PERCEPTION!!!
Anyway, our first African American female proud abortionist Attorney General, Letitia James, is keeping all New Yorkers, and especially black subway riders safe………..by going after a white former President of the United States on some fuzzy mortgage numbers.
I guess people forgot 2,000 NYC residents being murdered under Guiliani. NYC has a lower murder rate than all Republican states. I love educating
Since Joe Biden became President,
NYC has become home to hundreds of thousands
of ILLEGAL ALIENS, including some who were:
thieves, muggers, murderers, kidnappers,
and rapists in their home countries.
Under a normal USA President, those people
would not be permitted to enter the USA.
But Joe Biden allows them all to enter the USA,
and also: terrorists, spies, and people sick
with contagious diseases.
All we need is just 4 more years of The Democrats,
and the USA will become a Third World country,
or collapse completely, like the USSR.

You seem to need an education yourself. See this article.

The wallethub report and the NY Post article that cherry picked data from it are both worthless and stupid. The report is done without any intelligence or insight when comparing cities.

Oh, ok, we’ll just take your word on that.
And yet Hochul and the Democrat legislature prevent passengers with carry licenses to provide themselves with the means of self defense. This is unconstitutional. The more dangerous a place, the stronger the right to be armed for protection. There is no tradition of banning weapons in such a place, so it does not fall under the “sensitive places” exception the supreme court carved out.
