This is reprehensible. I hope this victim recovers well. Crime has skyrocketed on our subways, and thugs are rampant. Is this creep from a homeless shelter or someone who should have been behind bars? We need more police. We need stronger enforcement and consequences for criminals. Keeping our city safe must become a priority.
