One of the most serious citywide problems has manifested itself inside Grand Central Terminal.

There have been several viral videos of subway lawlessness recently.
Last month subways had the best on-time arrival in seven years. Service also improved for Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road.
It's an action and a presence some restaurateurs say is long overdue.

Police said the incident happened at around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday near Fountain Avenue and Linden Boulevard in East New York.
There is possible relief on the horizon for drivers in the city.

Recently, several trains had to be taken out of service after they were covered top to bottom in paint.
Police say the suspect was roaming around underground for about an hour before officers were finally able to get him off the tracks and into custody.

Daniari told police she was standing on the C train platform at the West 155th Street and Saint Nicholas Avenue station when a couple yelled anti-sexual orientation slurs, then slapped and spit on her.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says the vandalism is happening out of sight of cameras and cops.
Since it was started 30 years ago, the idea was people would call a day ahead and schedule a ride.
Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison tweeted Monday that one of two suspects wanted in the assault was apprehended in New Jersey.
The brand new fleet had been taken out of service Jan. 7th after doors opened mid-ride on two occasions.
The MTA says the departure was expected.
