HeadlineFeb 15, 2021

The New York Police Department has arrested an individual in connection with four stabbing attacks on unhoused people in the subway over the weekend, which left two of the victims dead. NYPD announced it was adding 500 more police officers to patrol subways. Organizer Whitney Hu responded on Twitter, “There’s always money for more cops in the subway system but never enough money to actually house the homeless and keep them safe & warm.”
