According to the New York Post, officials from the Metropolitan Transportation Administration of New York stated on the evening of the 13th that as of 6:00 am on the 13th, a total of 97 car windows have been damaged and 45 trains have been affected in the past 29 hours.
The New York Times reported that as of 11:00 am on the 13th, staff have repaired the windows of 25 trains. The cost of repairing all damaged car windows is expected to be as high as $500000. This incident affected the commuting of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, and the W line of the New York subway was the most severely damaged subway line in this incident.
According to the New York Post, the local transportation department stated that maintenance work is still ongoing and is expected to resume full operation of the New York City Subway's W line during the morning rush hour on the 14th.
According to The New York Times, Richard David, the head of transportation in New York, expressed his anger at the incident of subway windows being broken. Recently, due to students returning to school and busy traffic, the destructive behavior has brought pressure to New York.
At present, investigators are investigating relevant surveillance videos along the subway. David issued a warning to the destroyer, "We will find you. We have your photo. I have no doubt that we can find you and sue you in accordance with the law."

According to reports, the New York City Subway has also experienced such damage before. In 2020, within two months, about 100 windows of trains on Line 7 of the New York City Subway were damaged.
According to a report by CBS, New York City subway passengers stated in an interview that the delay in the New York City subway caused them to be late for work.
According to the report, a passenger said, "This is too bad. The service is usually very slow, which is already bad enough."
Another passenger added, "Imagine a glass flying over and cutting you on the subway. I think it's a bit out of control."
According to the "VICE" website in the United States, most subway stations in New York City are equipped with cameras, but they sometimes do not work. According to reports, when a large-scale shooting occurs on the subway, some gunmen may evade arrest due to camera malfunction.
According to reports, in 2022, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Agency received funding to install cameras in subway cars, but due to the large number of subway cars and slow progress, the agency expects this work to be difficult to complete by 2025.
