"NY Governor Deploys National Guard to Combat Subway Crime Spike"

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is deploying 750 National Guard members to assist the NYPD in curbing subway crime, part of a five-point plan that includes bag searches, banning offenders from trains, installing cameras, and increasing outreach programs. This comes as NYC Mayor Eric Adams plans to increase police presence in response to a nearly 20% rise in subway crime. Recent incidents include homicides, assaults, and robberies, prompting the state's intervention to address safety concerns in the city's public transportation system.
