Big App<\/a>le straphangers aren\u2019t the only ones getting bruised during the recent uptick in violence in the New York City subway system. <\/p>\n

Felony assaults on cops in the subways are also on the rise, with 15 attacks on police officers in January \u2014 up from just five over the same month in 2020, NYPD Transit Chief Kathleen O\u2019Reilly said Thursday. <\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly, speaking during an MTA board meeting, said that was a big chunk of the total of 43 felony assaults in the tubes last month.<\/p>\n

The release of the stats come amid growing concern over an increase in transit violence in the city, with reports of straphangers punched, shoved, or slashed on the rise in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said last week that he would beef up the police presence by about 500 more officers following a bloody slashing rampage on the A line that left two dead and two others wounded. <\/p>\n

MTA Chairman Pat Foye said that Thrusday that the NYPD has already deployed 644 more cops to the subway system in recent days \u2014 but it\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n

Foye reiterated MTA\u2019s call for a total of 1,500 more officers patrolling the subways. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a good first step,\u201d Foye said of the cops deployed so far. \u201cBut we\u2019re going to need roughly 900 more polcie officers to provide the kind of coverage and security that our customers and decidated employees deserve.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll note that our request will bring us back to the level of NYPD staffing in the subways that existed in 1995, when the New York City Transit Police merged with the NYPD to form today\u2019s NYPD Transit Bureau,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Transit officials say overall crime is down in the subways \u2014 and ridership is down about 70 percent \u2014 but with felony assaults and attacks on cops on the rise, a stronger police presence is needed.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
