QUEENS, NY – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) today issued the following statement regarding the Asian woman who was pushed to her death at the Times Square subway station.
"I am horrified to learn about this heinous crime in our city and devastated over the death of this woman. It is a terrible and senseless tragedy and my heart aches for her loved ones at this difficult time.
This incident highlights the need to ensure that all New Yorkers who use mass transit are safe, and that those in need of mental health services receive the help they require.
I am committed to working with our new Mayor Eric Adams, Governor Hochul and their administrations to address these concerns. I spoke with the Mayor and Governor today, and joined the Mayor at the scene this afternoon. I thank them for reaching out and for being responsive."
