Facing mounting political pressure, the union representing horse carriage drivers suspended all hansom cab operations inside Central Park on Thursday, less than 24 hours after an 18-year-old man was killed when the horse-drawn cab he was in flipped over.
Alexander Kemp, administrative vice president for the union, TWU Local 100, announced the suspension of horse-carriage rides inside the park in a June 18 statement, where he cited the gravity of the passenger death.
