The death in Downtown Manhattan was a dark turn in a trend that began when transit ridership plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiple lines were experiencing backups, according to the transit agency.

Officials say they’re looking for the assailant in the Bronx incident.

The 39-year-old defendant is being charged with attempted assault.

Officers responded to a report of gunfire and found one shell casing, police say.

Police are still investigating a potential motive for the attack.

Trains were running with limited service between Manhattan and Queens, according to the transit agency.

The MTA reported outages on the B, C and M lines. The issue also hammered service on the A, E, F and G lines.

The federal transportation department is demanding “actions and plans to reduce crime” on the transit system.

Assaults in the transit system have tripled since 2009, according to the civic organization Vital City.
