Straphangers ‘ask God’ to protect them while riding violence-plagued NYC subways: ‘Nobody is safe’

We may need some divine intervention below ground.

New York City transit riders say are fearing for their lives and even “asking God” for help after a number of disturbing, violent incidents in subways and train stations that have left people on edge.

Philomena Ofosu, a 24-year-old nurse’s aide from the Bronx said she prays for her safety every time she gets on the train.

“I am a Christian and I ask God to bring me safe to where I’m supposed to be and back,” she told The Post at Grand Central Terminal on Wednesday — hours after a two people were slashed there by a knife-wielding maniac on Christmas Eve.

“Nobody is safe out here,” she said. “You never know what can happen in the train. It’s so scary for people to get stabbed on the train. They think they are going somewhere and they get stabbed.”

Celia Lovis, 28, of Switzerland, told The Post “we are not used to this kind of violence” in her home country, calling recent incidents “really shocking.”

why anyone would leave beautiful Switzerland to vacation in NY City is beyond me.

Maybe she's an anthropologist doing a study on primitive, violent and pagan cultures.

“Strap hanging” needs to be phased out asap. In the New York of today, it has become too dangerous to be forced to stand elbow to elbow with the random person. It has become like a small glass bowl, loaded with Japanese Fighting Fish.
Many of those fish have zero impulse control and will compulsively attack on sight, if they think their territory has been invaded.

If you fight back, you will be prosecuted. Enjoy it. You voted for it.

She should be praying to God to have the courage to change her life so she doesn’t ride the rolling prison/insane asylum cars of the New York City subway.

Yes, that’s behind the stampede to Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.
