"NYC Subway Violence Prompts Deployment of National Guard Troops"

An MTA conductor was assaulted with a glass bottle in the Bronx just after Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to deploy National Guardsmen to NYC subways to combat a surge in crime. The attacker fled the scene, and the conductor was taken to the hospital in stable condition. This incident follows a recent slashing of another MTA worker in Brooklyn, who expressed reluctance to return to work on the trains. Hochul's plan involves deploying 1,000 National Guardsmen, state police, and MTA officers to conduct bag checks in subway stations to address the recent spate of violent attacks.
