Millions of New Yorkers were on edge Thursday after an innocent subway rider was viciously shoved to her death in the heart of Times Square.
“Big Apple subway crime is up 65% during the first half of January, according to the New York Police Department. Over the weekend, 40-year-old Michelle Alyssa Go was killed after Simon Martial, a homeless man with a decades-long rap sheet, allegedly pushed her onto tracks where she was struck by an oncoming train at the Times Square station,” reports Fox News.
“It is nerve-racking, for sure,” said one local.

“It’s really crazy out here,” added another.
“The homeless population has gone up, and they are just defecating and urinating all in the subway system. It is really deteriorating,” said a commuter.
“I always stay alert. I don’t sleep on the train,” a man named Hilton told Fox News. “If I’m waiting on the train, I stand in the middle of the platform. I won’t stand near the edges,” said Ahmed. “I don’t even be on my phone when I’m on the platform.”
