Elderly Woman Attacked While Gov Hochul Says All Is Well

But then what else is Hochul going to say? Elderly Woman Attacked Inside Manhattan Subway Station As Governor Declares "Safe Subways"

At approximately 2:35 p.m., the victim was standing on the southbound “6” train platform when an unidentified male approached her and punched her in the head, police said. The impact caused the woman to fall to the ground.

The assailant fled the station on foot in an unknown direction. Emergency Medical Services transported the victim to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where she is reported to be in stable condition.

This happened with Governor Kathy Hochul's PR stunt of riding on the subway, with her armed security detachment, to "prove" how safe the city is.

Despite these efforts, Hochul’s claims have faced scrutiny, particularly in light of high-profile crime incidents. For example, her statement on Sunday about the subway’s improved safety was met with criticism following a horrific incident where a woman was set on fire on a subway train the same day.

PR stunts are not going to change reality. (Hat tip to The Quartering.)
