MTA workers honored for saving lives during 36th Street subway shooting attack
Mayor Eric Adams, speaking virtually at a ceremony at City Hall, honored subway workers who helped save the lives of those shot in the subway shooting attack in Sunset Park during a ceremony on Friday, April 15.
During the conference, he acknowledged, with proclamations, R-train operator Joseph Franchi, R-train conductor Dayron Williams, N-train conductor Raven Hayes, N-train operator David Artis, R-train operator Michael Catalano, R-train conductor Willy Sanchez and the B37 bus operator Parla Mejia.
“When our city was attacked Tuesday morning, you risked real danger to save the lives of everyday New Yorkers,” Adams, who was still in quarantine, said via the screen. “Your actions are indicative of what’s great about the service that you deliver every day in general, more specifically the service you deliver during times of crises.
