Subway musicians said that she was concerned about violent crimes because the attacks rose underground-even while on Wednesday they competed for first-class performance places at MTA hero auditions.

“Some of the grain to be a native of New York learn how to protect yourself. I try to choose stations with a police presence,” said Cherise Elife, 42, from Harlem, who plays 70 instruments.

“To be honest, there are six of us and we play big heavy instruments. We also have our start in the city center of Troy. We had some experiences, let's just call them tests. Busking in the city center of Troy is not easy,” he added.

In the subway attacks last year, a 23-year-old woman with eight earlier arrests packed the cellist iain S. Forrest (29) when he appeared in the Herald Square station.

Amira Hunter was broken a day after the attack, and after it was initially published, it was finally held against a deposit of 10,000 US dollars.

Forrest, in the meantime, was able to return to the U -Bahn about a month later -and played the national anthem before a Knicks game started an Advocacy group for U -Bahn actors.
