Since the beginning of the year, nine people have been killed on the subway and another 13 have been the victims of senseless pushing. The latest push victim was attacked in late October. Mayor Eric Adams has now been forced to confront the escalating violence and on Saturday said he would flood the subways with more cops to curb attacks on commuters. Transit crime in New York is up 31 percent, year over year Just last week, police released footage of a crazed assailant who pushed a 22-year-old woman down a staircase in a Queens subway station. The victim was standing on the platform at the 82nd Street station waiting for the No. 7 train when a man approached her from behind and began punching her in the face, police said. He continued to assault her before pushing her down the stairs, throwing her bag behind her as she lay at the bottom of the stairs. The man then turned around and left the injured women on the lower subway platform.

But before she can escape, he grabs her and starts terrorizing her. The man is seen in the video grabbing the woman’s hair while pushing her down into the seat. The female victim visibly agitated shouts: “Help! Aid!’ as other riders ignore her pleas The victim shouts: “Help! Aid!’ as other riders ignore her screams. Moments later, the man screams at the woman, “Get up!” before pushing her to another area of ​​the subway car. Mayor Adams has previously stated that there is only the perception that crime in New York is out of control and that only six crimes per day occur on average in the subway. However, Adams recently pledged to take additional security measures to make residents and visitors feel safe. A new initiative the mayor announced will add 1,200 extra shifts, or 10,000 more hours a day, to boost subway safety. “We must address both the perception and reality of safety, and the expanded partnership we are announcing today with Governor Hochul will do just that while building on the successes of the Metro Safety Plan,” Adams said. Mayor Eric Adams says, on average, there are only six crimes in the New York City subway every day “The bottom line is that riders will see more officers in the system, as will those who are thinking about breaking the law.” Metro police should also undergo new training on how to care for mentally ill riders. The plan will complement the two new psychiatric facilities opening soon in the city.
