More than 400 windows have been damaged since May. The city’s transit agency said it’s cost nearly $400,000 in repairs and all but exhausted supplies of replacement windows.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the police department this week announced a $12,500 reward for information leading to an arrest.
