A young woman was found dead aboard a New York Subway train in Brooklyn, in what appears to be a new case of homeless people dying on the subway.
Other passenger was also found unconscious in the same train car, but was resuscitated and taken to Methodist Hospital, according to an FDNY spokesman.
Police said the woman appeared to have some 30 years old and was found on a Line 2 train at the Atlantic Ave.-Barclays Center station yesterday around 7: 15 am Photos from the scene show her dressed in pajama bottoms surrounded by garbage, detailed Daily News.
No crime was suspected in her death, and coroners removed her body for further investigation into the cause of death. He was at least the eighth homeless person to die on a train or platform this year on the NYC Subway, a significant increase because MTA data shows only two cases in the same period in 2021
Mayor Eric Adams recently introduced a safety plan promising to return safety to trains, stations and buses. Last year there were 461 serious crimes in the subway, and so far in the 2021 almost 300 have already been reported, including 3 people thrown to the rails, including Asian Michelle Go (40), who was killed in January in Times Square.
Last week three people were run over, one of them fatally, in a series of accidents recorded over a period of hours in the New York subway. Even the new mayor Adams acknowledged in January that he did not feel safe riding the Metro, unlike an earlier statement he had made underestimating crime on trains and stations.
