The damage caused by the vandal to the New York subway is estimated at $ 300 thousand. MTA is ready to pay $ 10 thousand for information about the criminal. The edition writes about it AMNY.
On Wednesday, August 26, New York City police released photos of a man they suspect of serially breaking subway windows. The unknown is wanted in connection with 63 acts of vandalism - he smashed windows in different carriages with a blunt object, police said.
It is assumed that the first act of vandalism fell on May 8, 2020. The latter was recorded on August 3.
In particular, the vandal broke the windows in the carriages on the 2nd, 3rd and 7th metro lines. Vandalism took place in at least eight police stations, including 1, 9, 10, 17, 33, 45, 109 and 110, according to the NYPD.

By his actions, the vandal damaged the MTA system in the amount of up to $ 300 thousand.
On August 24, the transit agency offered a $ 10 reward to anyone with information that would help apprehend the perpetrator.
Every time a window is broken in one subway car, the entire train is taken out of service and sent for repairs. Replacing one glass costs $ 500.
If you have any information about this person, call 800-577-TIPS or report online on the website nypdcrimestoppers.com or Twitter... All calls and messages are confidential.
Note that acts of vandalism are committed at a time when MTA suffers losses in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. A sharp drop in passenger traffic during the quarantine cut the agency's expected revenues.
Sarah Feinberg, MTA's interim transit president, said the cost of the renovation would eventually fall on taxpayers. “I'm glad NYPD is taking these crimes seriously.” commented formerly a representative of MTA.
