Ride Public Transit? Maybe When It's Safe

Unsafe and getting worse. Straphanger stabbed by panhandler says NYC subway is a disaster

A straphanger who was stabbed in the stomach while trying to stop an unruly panhandler from harassing riders near Rockefeller Center Monday slammed the city’s subway system over its soaring crime rates.

“It sucks what’s happening,’’ Bruce Fuentes, 27, of Sunset Park told The Post while recovering at Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. “The subway system is a mess right now.’’

Because there are no repercussions, there is no check on behavior.

“There’s a lot of crazy people now on the train,” said Guzman, 22. “It’s like you can just get stabbed for anything.”

Law and Order are such 20th Century concepts.
