В метро дела так себе
A subway worker was hospitalized after he was attacked with a hammer in a Manhattan subway station early on Tuesday morning.
The NYPD says it happened around 1:45 a.m. inside the W. 14th St. and 8th Ave. Subway Station in the West Village.
A 29-year-old man walked into the dispatch room at the station. An MTA worker confronted the man.
The trespasser then grabbed a hammer and bashed the 51-year-old worker in the head.
Police arrested the attacker at the crime scene. He was reportedly trying to hide under a train at the station.
He was handcuffed and carried out of the station into a police car. The NYPD says he was taken to Bellevue Hospital for an evaluation.

A man was shot by an MTA collection agent following a dispute on a Brooklyn subway, according to police.
Two MTA workers were waiting on the southbound R train platform at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station when they got into an argument with another rider around 9 p.m. Tuesday, police said. The man came up to the pair and soon became irate, threatening to beat them up, according to NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper.
The man continued his verbal barrage as the train arrived and aboard it, police said. The MTA workers — one of whom maintains MetroCard vending machines, the other an armed transit revenue collector and acting security — then got off the train at the Union Street station in Gowanus, but the other man followed them.
As they were on the mezzanine level, the man went up to the men again, which is when the armed agent took out his gun and ordered the man to stop, Kemper said at a later press conference. When the man attempted to take the gun away, the MTA worker fired once.
The 39-year-old man was shot in the chest was taken to Methodist Hospital, and was said to be in critical condition. Neither of the MTA workers was said to be hurt.
New York City Transit President Richard Davey said that they are cooperating with the police investigation, and said that the worker who fired the shot is a 21-year veteran of the agency. Davey said that the armed collection agents accompany the workers who fix the MetroCard vending machines in order to provide protection.
While the other man has not been identified, Kemper said that he is known to the department. It was unclear what, if any, charges would be filed in connection to the incident.

Бомж локопался до работников метро и саданул одного по башке молотком. Бомжару повязали.
Во второй новости какой-то полубомж (он известен полиции, какой сюрприз) докопался до других работников метро и пытался броситься на них, но один из работников был охранником метро и просто пристрелил мудачка.
Мораль? Нельзя давать оружие всем желающим без должной проверки, а то первый негрилка из первоной новости не молотком бы размахивал, а валил бы врагов направо и налево, но так же правильно и нужно вооружать ответственных граждан, которые могут и умеют применять оружие не навредив себе и окружающим.
