Last week a Latino construction worker was robbed and stabbed five times inside a chaotic subway car, an attack that spread to a platform in Midtown.

Violence does not rest on public transportation in New York. Public officials have repeatedly vowed this year to increase police presence on Subway platforms and railcars as part of former NYPD Mayor Eric Adams’ security plan, which seeks to reduce violence by cracking down, including cracking down on homelessness: last February it was determined that 43 people were “living” in the underground.

Despite announced efforts, overall serious crime on subways increased 42% year-to-date compared to the same period in 2022, and the number of homicides this year already exceeds the eight registered last year.
