Fox News
A person of interest was reportedly being questioned by New York City police on Saurday night in connection with a series of slashing attacks on the city's subway system.
Earlier Saturday, the New York Police Department announced that 500 more police officers will be patrolling subway stations after the fatal stabbings of two homeless people plus two other victims in the previous 24 hours. "We will immediately commence a surge of officers to patrol both above and below grounds to ensure that everyone that rides on our transit system on a daily basis not only is safe, but just as importantly, feels safe," NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a news conference Saturday afternoon. "This surge will result in an additional 500 officers, which is a significant increase in the staffing of our transit bureau, and they will be deployed immediately throughout New York City."More Related News
