Exclusive | NYC Subway Assaults up 19% — with Many of the Attacks Coming Against Police Officers, Stats Show

New York City subway assaults have increased 19% in 2025, with many attacks targeting police officers and transit workers.
Experts attribute the rise to factors like more mentally ill individuals in subways, crowding from congestion pricing, and judicial system weaknesses.
The NYPD responded by adding two officers on every overnight train and hundreds more on overtime to deter crime underground.
NYPD data shows 255 felony assaults this year, with 36% involving officers or MTA employees, compared to 154 assaults in 2019 before the pandemic.
The increase suggests challenges in public safety enforcement amid complex social issues, while other transit crimes like robbery and shootings have declined.
