After Recent Attacks That Have Left Subway Users On Edge, New York City Is Considering Building Underground Barriers

After recent attacks that have left subway users on edge, New York City is considering building underground barriers.

Michelle Go was struck and killed by a train at the Times Square subway station after an assailant shoved her onto the tracks without warning more than a month ago.

Residents in New York City are concerned about an increase in violence against subway commuters, so the agency's transit commissioner stated on Wednesday that the city will test erecting barriers or doors on a select subway platforms.

Michelle Go, a 40-year-old woman, was struck and murdered by a train at the Times Square subway station after an assailant shoved her onto the tracks without warning more than a month ago.

"It doesn't work in a lot of places," Lieber said, adding that the installations would be tested in Times Square and two other high-traffic areas before being expanded if successful.

"We'll also be testing new technologies to detect track intrusion using heat technology and laser technology, so we can know faster when people come on the rails and hopefully prevent it," he said.

According to Lieber, the city will also send teams of police officers and mental health workers to remove homeless individuals from stations and "get rid of unruly behaviour" like drug use that has contributed to riders' uneasiness.
