Reply to comment by virtual_adam in NYC’s new subway crime crackdown is underway but NYers are not convinced it will work by PichuLovy

What about the man mumbling to himself that hes “going to fucking kill everyone”.

What crime would you arrest him for?

Ideally he’d been placed on a psych hold, but if directed at some one, definitely menacing. It’s also against the MTAs code of conduct to act aggressively so removal from the system at the very least.

Then he’s out on the streets mumbling that he’s going to kill everyone. And hospitals don’t hold people for very long unless they’re being violent or accepting the help. There is literally no place or actions to be taken against these people under our current laws until they actually hurt someone.

Probably better on the streets then on a platform where someone can be shoved into an oncoming train, or in an enclosed train car.
