A veteran subway operator said she witnessed a homeless man openly “defecating” on a No. 2 train Monday — a sign the homeless have “taken over” the subway system during the coronavirus pandemic.
Angelina Malave, 46, who missed a month of work after catching the virus, said the sight of the man — kicked back on a subway bench with his legs raised in the air over his head so his full rear end was in view — was “one of the worst things I’ve seen in my 18 years as a train operator.”
Malave said she snapped a photo of the distressing scene, which later circulated on Twitter and on worker Facebook groups, at the Flatbush Avenue 2 train terminal around 10 a.m.
The 5-foot-tall train operator said she’s too scared to confront homeless offenders on the rails. At 3 a.m., when she starts her shift, all 10 train cars are occupied by vagrants, she said.
Having returned to work just last week after recovering from the virus, Malave admitted she fears exposure to the homeless population setting up camp on her trains.
“What scares me the most is that I had it, but I don’t know if I can get it again,” she explained.
“Coming back to this scene after a month is so upsetting. After all my years with MTA, this is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy,”
Mayor de Blasio last week denied the homeless situation was “out of control” and argued the city does not “have the magical ability” to force people off the rails and into shelter.
But late Monday, City Hall announced it would call on the MTA to close certain end-of-the-line stations during overnight hours to help with outreach.

I thought NYC was purchasing one-way tickets to any other state the homeless wanted to go to. I guess they don’t want to go, eh.
Can’t figure out why New York has such a high incidence of Coronavirus death.
It’s a mystery.
And John Rocker was the problem. SMH
I now see why people were upset. He was supposed to use the potty train.
he came prepared
Yikes! Well, at least he didn’t leave his poop on the floor.
