New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio defended NYPD officers who ticketed a woman for selling churros in the subway
By Katie Honan and Paul Berger Nov. 11, 2019 6:32 pm ET New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday defended NYPD officers who ticketed a woman for selling churros in the subway, as street-vendor advocates and some politicians seized on the incident to decry a surge in policing on mass transit.
It is illegal to sell food without a license from the city. It also is illegal to conduct commercial activity in the subway without authorization from the state-controlled Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Edward Delatorre, chief of transit for the NYPD, said Sunday in a series of tweets that the vendor was ticketed for illegally selling churros, and that she has received 10 summonses in the past six months. But street-vendor advocates and some politicians said the incident is an example of over-policing in the subway.
“The MTA is in desperate need of investment in better buses and more train service, not more cops and criminalization,” he added.
