NYC SUBWAY VIOLENCE SEES 3 STABBINGS IN 1 DAY AS MAN IS FATALLY PUSHED IN FRONT

Criminals are continuing to unleash bloodshed on innocent New York City subway
riders going about their daily lives, with violent transit crime becoming almost
a daily occurrence. 

On Monday, a deranged criminal with a long rap sheet shoved a 54-year-old man
onto the tracks in Harlem, with the victim then being struck by an oncoming
train, according to police. 

It came on a day when three stabbings took place in and around the Big Apple’s
subway system, and on the same day, the city announced it was deploying 800 more
police to patrol its crime-ridden subway system — even after around 750 National
Guard troops were deployed to the underground system earlier this month and
1,000 additional police were added to the system in February.

NYPD OFFICER SHOT, KILLED DURING CAR STOP IN QUEENS BY SUSPECT WITH MULTIPLE
PRIOR ARRESTS: POLICE

Police say Carlton McPherson, 24, of the Bronx, was behind the deadly shove at
the 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station in an unprovoked attack at around
7 p.m. 

McPherson has been charged with murder for allegedly pushing the unidentified
man on the tracks. The victim was then fatally hit by an incoming 4 train as it
arrived at the station and could not stop on time.

According to several reports, McPherson has a long history of mental health
issues and has been collared several times. 

He was arrested last October on assault, menacing, harassment and other charges
in Brooklyn, according to the New York Daily News. The publication, citing court
documents, reports that when he was arraigned, he was released without bail but
was arrested again when he failed to show up to court.

But he was let out on bail again after being picked up by police, and a judge
issued a second warrant. He was arrested for a third time for the initial crime
in January, and bail was set at $2,000, which he paid, the New York Daily News
reports.

Monday’s series of stabbings kicked off in Brooklyn at around 4:30 a.m., when a
52-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in the back during a feud over
smoking inside the Kosciuszko Street J train station, according to the New York
Post. The alleged stabber fled out onto the street, where he was quickly taken
into custody, with charges pending, police said.

Just a few hours later, at around 8 a.m. on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a
26-year-old man was stabbed in the buttocks in an unprovoked attack at West 96th
Street and Broadway, just steps away from the subway station, the Post reports.
 

Then, at around 11:40 a.m., a female attacker in Brooklyn knifed another woman
in the back with an unknown object by the turnstile area at the Franklin Avenue
C train station in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the Post reports. The injured woman was
taken to a local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

NEW YORKERS RAIL ON LOSING BATTLE AGAINST CRIME AFTER GOV. HOCHUL DISPATCHES
NATIONAL GUARD

Meanwhile, an NYPD officer was fatally shot in Far Rockaway when he was
investigating a car being parked illegally Monday.

Police say Officer Jonathan Diller was killed after a suspect displayed a
firearm and pointed it at them when he refused to exit the car, striking Diller
in the torso. The New York Post reports that the suspect, 34-year-old Guy
Rivera, has 21 prior arrests.

A recent analysis by the Post revealed that the number of attacks on trains that
left victims injured jumped 53% when comparing 2023’s 570 felony assaults to the
373 reported in 2019.

On Monday, New York City announced plans to intensify a crackdown on subway
fare-beating by sending at least 800 police officers specifically to keep watch
on turnstiles.

There have been more than 1,700 arrests for turnstile-jumping and over 28,000
fare evasion tickets issued so far this year, data shows.

Police and Mayor Eric Adams, a former transit officer himself, in recent weeks
have suggested some links between fare-skipping and violence on the trains.

For instance, earlier this month dramatic eyewitness video captured the moment
before a man was shot in the head with his own gun after a brawl in a packed
subway car. The man who was armed with the gun had walked through an emergency
gate and did not pay his fair, police said.
