"Congestion pricing advocate attacked at NYC subway station — as new $9 toll pushes people into mass transit
A vocal proponent of the state’s controversial congestion pricing plan who is nudging New Yorkers into the city’s troubled transit system was attacked at a Manhattan subway station over the weekend.
Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station.
“Today at around 3:30 PM, I entered the subway station at 23rd Street and 5th Avenue,” Law-Gisiko, 53, wrote in a post on X following the attack.
“At the bottom of the first flight of stairs, an individual with a shopping cart began screaming at me and spat in my hair.”
“I am shaken, with a bruised ankle and a sore shoulder from being pushed into the wall,” she said.
“This has been a distressing and painful experience.”
Police said Timothy Elliot, 45, was nabbbed at the station and charged with assault and harassment. He was released on a desk appearance ticket, cops said."

So this Karen who wants to force people to use buses and subways rather than drive in their private vehicles got attacked on a subway.
Who says karma doesn't exist?
