The New York subways will once again be patrolled by the Guardian Angels, a volunteer crime-prevention group, following the tragic death of a woman who was burned alive one week ago.

The subway system has returned to its state in 1979 when the founder of the group started it, according to Curtis Sliwa, who told The New York Post Sunday. He stated that he has never seen it this bad.

Sliwa founded the Guardian Angels because there was a need for them after a rise in violent crime. Forty-five years later, he argued that the need is here once again and his group is going to step up.

"From front to back, we're walking through the trains and ensuring everything is okay. This is our constant focus now, as starting today, our complete focus is on the subways, which are out of control."

After an illegal immigrant was arrested for allegedly setting a woman on fire in a subway car, the group was incentivized and has since received requests from "hundreds" of people to offer services.

Sliwa stated that in order to achieve success, we must increase our numbers, enhance our training, and strengthen our presence, similar to what we accomplished in 1979.

Sliwa stated that 150 members will commence patrolling the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station, where a woman was murdered. Their mission is to offer wellness checks and water to homeless individuals and other emotionally unstable passengers while reporting any problems to the NYPD.

He emphasized his hopes that his group would inspire New Yorkers to be more than bystanders.

"Sliwa stated, "The numerous trains entering and exiting here make it an ideal location as it serves as a reminder that nothing was done a week ago. No one intervened, no one pointed to the police and said 'This is the culprit.' Even the police did not take any action.""

"He stated that it was an illustration of individuals not taking part, and we're here to emphasize, 'If you observe something, speak up.' You must act."

The deployment of 750 National Guard members and 250 MTA Police officers to patrol the New York City subway system was announced less than two weeks after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul made the announcement.

"According to Hochul, the presence of the National Guard has not only created a physical difference but also a psychological difference in how people feel about safety. When individuals see someone in uniform, including National Guard members, they feel more secure."
