'Kind of scary': Subway riders torn over NYPD's new robot patrol as some insist more 'humans would be better'
The New York Police Department is doing a two-month trial period with the K5 security robot patrolling a Times Square subway station at night, but not all subway riders feel safer. NEW YORK CITY – Subway riders shared mixed feelings about a police robot that started patrolling the Big Apple's busiest transit station in October. "I think it's OK -- whatever they can do to make us safer," Onassis told Fox News. "I mean look at the robot. It's like something from'Doctor Who.' I think it's cute."
