[HIGHLIGHTS] The controversial measure they took on the New York subway to stop the wave of violence

750 National Guard soldiers and 250 New York State Police officers joined the local police to guard the entrances and exits of the terminals. Governor Kathy Hochul announced a security measure not seen in the city since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Crime in the subway skyrocketed 45% in January compared to the same month last year. The paradox is that in New York City serious crimes have generally decreased (2.9% compared to last year), but crimes on the subway went the other way.
