Rep. Ritchie Torres blasts Gov. Hochul over subway crime

Rep. Ritchie Torres took to social media this week to criticize Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response to transit crime, following a series of shocking incidents that have left a handful of New Yorkers injured or killed.

The Bronx congressman responded to recent subway assaults on his personal X account, advocating for increased authority to involuntarily “relocate” individuals displaying signs of mental illness and stricter measures to keep repeat offenders off the streets.
