These assaults are starting to go up heavily unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGA Link N Train Posted April 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 21, 2019 Pffft. Some people never learn. From what I can understand. The attacker stabbed the Conductor for reasons unknown. The conductor fought back and held the attacker down ‘til authorities showed up. Moral of the story from my perspective: Assult against Transit Workers is getting worse. If you don’t like the or it’s staff, just suck it up and continue with your day in order to keep things moving or just leave the damn city. Don’t waste your time committing a crime just cause you don’t like something/someone or whatever this persons motives was. Is that hard to do or something? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsunflyguy Posted April 21, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2019 I roll my eyes at some co-workers who go through the trouble of changing into street clothes. Makes me second guess that opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted April 21, 2019 Share #6 Posted April 21, 2019 This is getting out of hand. There needs to be stiffer penalties for assaults on us transit employees. That “up to 7 years” crap is NOT a deterrent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Broadway Express Posted April 21, 2019 Share #7 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I feel for the conductor. He was very brave enough to fight back and hold his attacker. 😢 Edited April 21, 2019 by Q Broadway Express 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me second guess that opinion. It’s just not worth it. I had some idiot yell at me because some dude was smoking at 125/lex and he started ranting about fare hikes and NYPD. Then recently some no life woman banged in a TSS for sleeping on the LIRR talking about he was taking up seats smh. Just not worth it to ride in uniform we’re always a target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went to Twitter and promptly got blasted due to the fact there was a Seat next to him.. Oh BTW supervisors aren't covered by that "We have to give up a seat rule" if im correct... People like her are the reason we are in this mess with the riding public because people feel they can say what they want and do what they want to us without any repercussion... I feel its encouraged by TA with this Twitter nonsense... That Twitter page is basically became a "snitch on a TA employee page even if they are doing their job"...

biGC323232 Posted April 22, 2019 Share #12 Posted April 22, 2019 What i want to know is why this sudden attack on workers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68ACTrain Posted April 23, 2019 Share #13 Posted April 23, 2019 Just like when 2 workers were attacked with being poured with urine in their faces. One of them spoke out on News 12 while trying to pick up passengers from 138th and the Concourse on the Bx1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That social media shouldn’t be taken as credible if it’s a personal complaint. I’m seeing employees taken in for evaluation and questioning over being “rude” or ignoring customers. The TA knows The riding public has a HUGE resentment towards us. There’s no metrics to measure how true a complaint is. Now If it’s tangible evidence such as a photo or video, I’ll understand. But the petty banter and “pointing the finger” or ulterior motives to get someone taken OOS is unnecessary and unfair; it’s borderline defamation IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68ACTrain Posted May 11, 2019 Share #15 Posted May 11, 2019 It's so excruciating to her that workers are always getting tormented physically. This time beside my previous comment, a FEMALE train operator was physically punched in a face at Coney Island- Stillwell Avenue terminus while departing it on the line on Monday. Beside that fact that bus operators are protected by the NYSL, but motormen/women aren't. The report made it to News 12 this morning. She said that "I don't want my brothers and sisters to go through what I did on Monday." I forgot the operator's name but sh had a swollen and a purple eye. I just have no words for MTA crimes nowdays. Ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
