Pervert needs to be thrown in jail. Perp has probably committed all kinds of crimes before but never had to face real consequences. There’s no place for this type of behavior in a civil society. This is a major transit hub at a busy time of day. We need a stronger police presence everywhere.

74st train station in Jackson Heights is the most filthy and disgusting station. It smells like urine and vomit, bird dropping all over the stairs , perverts in & around the whole station, by the bus depot , on Roosevelt Ave. Councilmember Daniel Dromm should do something about it . His office & home is not far there.

People protested about the hiring of those extra police for the trains and stations. Does Senator Jessica Ramos have anything to say about the groping and assaults in the subways ?
