This is great news. Every transit worker in the city wants justice for Garrett Goble and his family, and this arrest is a huge first step.

Garrett was a hero, and he was stolen from us. He was out there serving the public during a health crisis. He helped riders evacuate his train after the fire was set. This was a horrific, horrific crime, and Garrett deserves justice. His family deserves justice. 

TWU Local 100 wants to thank the NYPD for not giving up. Thank you to the NYPD and all of the police officers and detectives who worked to make this arrest.
