A woman has been killed after being pushed in front of an oncoming subway train in Times Square, police say. The NYPD says the woman was on the southbound R train platform at the Times Square-42nd Street station when she was pushed. The MTA tweeted that N, Q, and R trains are delayed and rerouted as a result of the incident. The incident comes as new Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have vowed to increase police presence in subway stations around the city. Current subway ridership sits well below half of the pre-pandemic levels, according to the MTA.
