Statement from NYC Transit Interim President Sarah Feinberg on Multiple Attacks in the Subway System Within Hours

Updated May 12, 2021 1:45 p.m.

“Sadly once again, we’ve seen several separate attacks within a few hours across three boroughs – two of them taking place at the busiest station in our system by far, Times Sq.-42nd St.

"The mayor must act. The transit system needs an injection of additional mental health resources and a visible police presence on platforms and trains to deter crime and better support our customers returning to the system. New York’s economic recovery depends on it.”
