Source: CBSNewYork

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – After a series of recent slashing incidents on New York City subways, the Guardian Angels returned to the subway system.

Founder Curtis Sliwa boarded the uptown No. 1 train Monday with several colleagues in response to a series of subway attacks, 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa reported.

Sliwa said there will be regular day and night patrols on the subways for the first time since 1994.

“We’ve decided to not only be out during the day, which we haven’t been, but also ramp up our efforts at night to try to stop these slashing,” Sliwa said.

Summary: Boyfriend is hassling girlfriend. I don't know if it's physical or not. Girlfriend asks stranger for help. Stranger slashes boyfriend. Both slasher and girlfriend take off (assuming not together).
