In an X post on Sunday, Governor Hochul claimed that subway crime had decreased since she deployed the national guard to help address it, stating, 'I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day.' However, this statement was made just hours after a horrifying incident where a woman was set on fire on the train, highlighting stark contrasts.
Jessica Tisch, the police commissioner, provided details at a Sunday press conference about the tragic incident, sharing, 'Surveillance footage indicated the victim and her assailant were both riding the train early that morning, and as the train pulled into the station, the assailant walked up to the woman and used a lighter to ignite her clothing, which was fully engulfed in a matter of seconds.'
