Police are searching for suspect after a man was shot on a subway this morning in Lower Manhattan. Christinafantv reports.
"I can't tell New Yorkers they should feel safe. I'm not going to even do that. But the data is showing that New Yorkers are telling us they feel safer and that's what I'm going to pay attention to," said Hochul at the Friday news conference.
Hochul attributed the reduction in crime to the addition of 1,200 police officers on subways since the fall. Since then, arrests are up 63 percent, while summonses for fare evasion rose by 170 percent. "I've noticed just this week since we got back into town, I've noticed more police in the subway system," said Berny Montilla, from Manhattan.
D'souza said more mental health resources are needed now. The city said it's working with hospitals to open more beds for those patients within the next month. "We need to get these individuals who are off their medications treatment right away. But we also need to have police at every subway station on two tours and like I've been saying, bring in the National Guard," said D'souza.
Police described the Saturday morning shooting suspect as a man in his 30s, who was possibly wearing a denim jacket.
