New York City's push to make the subways safer is in full swing, one day after new teams comprised of police officers, mental health clinicians and social service outreach workers hit the transit system.
Marcus Solis reports from Queens where a man was stabbed in the latest incidence of violence inside the subway system.
"When people get on a train, especially if it's late at night, and there aren't many folks on and they see people engaged in breaking the rules in one way or another, whether it's smoking or open drug use and lying down and taking up five seats,. they get uncomfortable," MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said.
Police are supposed to be working with homeless advocates, but one man told Eyewitness News he was kicked out of the system without anywhere to go.
