(JUST THE NEWS) – The release of an unknown substance on a New York metro platform at Union Square caused a panic among the crowd on Friday and induced many to coughing fits and vomiting.
Authorities later confirmed the substance to have been pepper spray and said they had received reports of someone spraying it into the crowd, according to the U.S. sun.
The city announced in late September that it would install cameras in all 6,400 subway cars. New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul took a cavalier attitude toward concerns the cameras would infringe on individual privacy.
