“#Get a grip on NYC subway attacks before schoolkids flood system<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

For weeks, MTA leaders have pleaded for help dealing with train and bus violence, and a rash of recent attacks proves they need it. Especially with middle-schoolers about to rely on the system as they return to in-person class.<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning alone saw a 55-year-old woman shoved onto the tracks at a Bronx station and an MTA bus driver bashed in the head with a 2-by-4 in Brooklyn. That followed a week that saw five separate subway knifings, and a spate of track-shovers in recent months.<\/p>\n

Transit-system felonies rose 13.3 percent for the year, as of Sunday, and a whopping 70 percent over three years ago \u2014 even though ridership is just a fraction of the pre-COVID level.<\/p>\n

In the face of this chaos, NYC Transit chief Sarah Feinberg early this year begged the city for a greater police presence: \u201cWe need the system to not be looked at as something that\u2019s underground, forgotten.\u201d Her letter to Mayor de Blasio cited such \u201ctroubling attacks\u201d as \u201csix separate incidents of violent assaults on women at the Morgan L station\u201d in Brooklyn. \u201cChallenges\u201d posed by the \u201chomelessness and mental-health crisis,\u201d she noted, have \u201conly worsened.\u201d<\/p>\n

MTA boss Pat Foye called the attacks \u201chorrific and unacceptable\u201d and demanded the city step up mental-health care and policing.<\/p>\n

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea and Transit Chief Kathleen O\u2019Reilly\u00a0seem to recognize the problem. The attacks are becoming \u201ctoo common,\u201d said Shea; it\u2019s \u201cdisturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the mayor is as hapless as ever. Last week, he actually denied Shea made that comment. And Tuesday, he for the 55th time blamed \u201ca perfect storm\u201d to explain a doubling of subway murders. <\/p>\n

After a year, sir, you should have strategies for handling these no-longer-unexpected challenges. Yet he couldn\u2019t even outline a plan to deal with subway violence, even as middle-schoolers head underground. <\/p>\n

Pray de Blasio at least steps out of the way and lets the adults at the NYPD and MTA do what\u2019s necessary to restore subway safety.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
