A woman died after jumping in front of a Brooklyn-bound L train Friday night, the latest in a recent string of subway deaths and injuries that have prompted the MTA and Mayor Eric Adams to grapple with how to improve safety.
No one was reported to have been pushed in these incidents, but there is a “growing problem of people getting on the tracks,” Janno Lieber, the chair and CEO of the MTA, told Fox-5 Thursday evening. “We are determined to find new ways to attack this problem,” he said.
Lieber said that possible solutions could involve using laser technology and cameras to show “when people are getting into the wrong areas.” Lieber said this is something that the MTA began looking into beforeAfter Friday night’s incident, service on the L train was suspended between Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn and 8th Avenue in Manhattan and was replaced by a shuttle. The MTA said regular service resumed shortly after 9 p.m.
