“#Since de Blasio won\u2019t act against dangerous mental illness NYC must<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Whenever anyone gets shoved onto the subway tracks, someone with severe mental illness usually did the pushing \u2014 and it happ<\/a>ens all too often, because Mayor Bill de Blasio refuses to get serious about protecting the public, and the mentally ill themselves.<\/p>\n

Soon after the city saw two apparent such incidents within hours, Sarah Feinberg, the interim president of NYC Transit, erupted: \u201cIt\u2019s not fair to the woman, to the people who are using the system. It\u2019s not fair to the woman who experienced this today. We have a crisis in this city, and it absolutely has to be addressed.\u201d Too bad the mayor doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

Feinberg spoke at the 14th Street-Union Square station, where an unhinged man had shoved a Queens woman into the path of an oncoming No. 5 train. The victim, 40, had two train cars rumble over her head.<\/p>\n

This follows another pushing Wednesday night, at the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station. The suspect was apparently panhandling outside the station before the incident.<\/p>\n

And two more last month: at the Times Square-42nd Street station on Oct. 23, and at the C train\u2019s Clinton-Washington stop on Oct. 26 \u2014 where the victim was a 73-year-old grandmother.<\/p>\n

The pattern is clear. And, sadly, it\u2019s not the only way those walking city streets with untreated illness endanger others: Random attacks happen aboveground, too.<\/p>\n

Feinberg\u2019s plea is common sense: \u201cIt\u2019s gotta be addressed, and I\u2019m desperate for this mayor or the next mayor to take it on, because we\u2019ve got a long way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tragically, a regular part of severe mental illness is a resistance to accepting help \u2014 or even to admitting the problem.<\/p>\n

But state law allows for action against clear threats: Authorities can get court orders requiring people to take their meds, or be sequestered. But using that law requires leaders to force the mental-health system \u2014 which would much rather focus on people who are easier to help \u2014 to do its job.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
