He was taken to Bellevue Hospital with a head laceration and is in stable condition. Police have arrested a suspect. Kingsley Adjo, 54, was charged with assault and reckless endangerment. Earlier this year, a rise in subway crime prompted Gov. Kathy Hochul to deploy the National Guard troops to the subway system, and Mayor Eric Adams to reinstitute bag checks in the system. Just this week, the NYPD released their latest monthly crime statistics. According to the NYPD, major crime in the subway system was down 6.9% year to date, and by 15.3% compared to June of 2023.
