Governor Hochul Honors Heroes on One Year Anniversary of Hurricane Ida in New York – 01 Sept 2022
New York City and state officials say they are boosting efforts to curb violence and other crimes on the city’s subway system, including increased police patrols, cameras and mental health help for those in need. Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul and other officials disclosed the new measures Saturday in the wake of more disturbing attacks in the system. They include the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy on an A train in Queens earlier this month and the death of a man pushed in front of another Queens train during a dispute on Monday. Officials say subway riders will see police officers at more stations and longer-term care will be provided for mentally ill people.
