Mayor Bill de Blasio performed two health PSAs on Tuesday evening.

After a spate of violent attacks on both subway riders and MTA workers, the Mayor has pledged to ride the subway himself in hopes of quelling commuter fears. On April 13, de Blasio did exactly that. The Mayor passed through the turnstile in the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue Station during rush hour on Tuesday evening, followed closely by his security detail.
