MTA workers rally in Brooklyn over safety concerns
NEW YORK -- MTA workers and riders rallied Saturday in Brooklyn over safety concerns.
The rally was held outside the Church Avenue station in Kensington.
Workers say increased homelessness and violence in the system is putting them at risk, and they say when workers aren't safe, riders aren't safe.
The MTA released the following statement:
"The MTA has worked with Mayor Adams to put more NYPD officers in more visible locations throughout the transit system, on platforms and on trains, protecting riders and employees whose safety is the highest priority," spokesperson Meghan Keegan said.
