Crime on New York City subways is out of control. In the last week and a half, two people were set on fire — one fatally. There are career criminals who routinely harass subway riders, rob them, push them onto the tracks, and just make public transportation a safety nightmare.

More from The New York Post:

The Guardian Angels are resuming their patrols of the Big Apple’s subways as if it were crime-riddled Gotham in 1979, after the horrifying arson murder of a sleeping straphanger on a train last week, founder Curtis Sliwa said Sunday.

The red-beret-wearing volunteer vigilante squad is beefing up its ranks to its level 45 years ago, Sliwa said.

“We’re going to have to increase our numbers, increase the training and increase our presence as we did back in 1979,” Sliwa said at the Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island station in Brooklyn where the woman was killed.

Stay safe.
