NY governor touts increased surveillance amid MTA mayhem: Cameras in 'every single subway car'
Fox News
After a surge in violence in the New York subway in the last few weeks, Gov. Kathy Hochul boasts that security cameras have been installed in 'every single subway car.'
Peter Pinedo is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
It also follows the high-profile trial of former Marine Daniel Penny, who was charged but later cleared of homicide for his actions defending subway passengers from a mentally unstable homeless man named Jordan Neely.
Hochul, a Democrat, touted her deployment of 1,000 National Guard members to patrol the New York City subway, saying: "Public safety is my top priority." She also claimed credit for directing the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to install cameras in subway cars, which she said has now been completed.
