Monday’s horrific attack occurred mere hours after police department officials announced they would be sending 800 police officers to flood the subway with their presence, this time to crack down on fare-evading passengers. “The overall crime so far in March is down 15.5 per cent when compared to last year.” This is not the first time this year that a person became a victim of getting shoved onto the subway train tracks.
