Nearly 1,000 New York National Guardsmen, state police and MTA cops are being deployed to carry out bag checks in the Big Apple’s crime-ridden subway system, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday.
The additional forces — made up of 750 guardsmen and 250 law enforcement officers — will work alongside the NYPD to patrol “the city’s busiest transit stations” amid a recent surge in underground violence, Hochul said.
“These brazen, heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated,” Hochul said as she announced a five-point plan to crack down on the city’s burgeoning underground crime wave.

“With the actions we’re taking today, we’re sending a message to anyone who is feeling anxious when they walk through those turnstiles: We will stop at nothing to keep you safe and restore your peace of mind,” Hochul announced.

Just an hour after Hochul’s announcement, a female subway conductor was whacked in the head by a glass bottle in a random attack. She was hospitalized in stable condition, while her attacker fled the station after the incident.
Journalist Oliya Scootercaster announced: “NYC Subway conductor was hit with a bottle on E170th street and Jerome Ave station, another MTA employee assault comes on the same day that NYS Gov. Kathy Hochul is said to announce deployment of National Guard troops around the NYC subway system amid ongoing violence in transit.”
