Woman Killed After Being Pushed To Tracks In Times Square, Police Say

A woman was killed after she was shoved onto the tracks and struck by an incoming subway at the Times Square station, according to police.

A police spokesperson said the incident happened just after 9:30 a.m. Saturday on the southbound side of the tracks. The victim was hit by a Brooklyn-bound R train and killed. She was declared dead at the scene.Adams And Hochul Announce Agreement To Deploy More Police To Subways This fatality comes as Mayor Eric Adams pledged to increase police presence across the subway system as part of a wider effort to improve safety. At a joint news conference by Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul, the state will commit to hiring outreach workers to aid the mentally ill and homeless within the transit system as part of the effort to bolster safety. It's unclear exactly how many officers would be stationed across the system and when outreach workers will be activated.

Last year, the city reassigned more NYPD officers to patrol the transit system following a spate of stabbings on the A line. This brought the total number of officers to 1,100, considered the highest number of officers in the system in more than a quarter century, according to then-Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The subway is the fastest way to travel around NYC. I hope that our new mayor E. Adams tackles the homelessness problem we have in the city and particularly in the subways like Giuliani and Bloomberg did. All that effort overnight was destroyed by an utterly incompetent deBlasio.

Need those screen doors…….!

Meanwhile in other developed nations:

Flood the zone with cops, and remove lingering people from these areas.

Why do people stand so close to the track? 😟

Enough talk! It is time to flood the subway with cops/mental health experts to get these dangerous people out of the system. How many of these random acts do we need before action!

I don’t get why we spend billions on consultants for subway projects that go over budget and never completed on time, instead of putting in screen doors while people are pushed onto the tracks. Pisses me off NYCMayor

I Honestly don’t get why this keep Happening in NYC METRO Station

Two times a team asked for Penny, and two times Seahawks said noRashaad Penny finished the year as the best runner over the final five weeks of the NFL season. It wasn’t particularly close, either. Seahawks have to give him a one year prove it break.... So now they either pay him or get nothing. Correct? It paid off in the way that he didn't really play until this year, a year that the Seahawks missed the playoffs and now he's an unrestricted free agent, pays off. Lol.
