Homeless People in New York City Won’t be Allowed to Sleep on the Subway This Winter

As winter comes around in New York, the city’s police commissioner Bill Bratton said this week that police will be cracking down on homeless people trying to take shelter in the subway system.

“Subways are not homeless shelters, and the homeless will not be allowed to congregate in them,” Bratton told CBS News. “The city has more than adequate shelters in other facilities.” He said homeless people will be moved on from subway cars and platforms.
