The Guardian Angels and their citizen "safety patrols" were born on the New York subway about 40 years ago in response to the city's crime-ridden transport system.

More recently, a new division of the group has formed - a women-led group called Perv Busters which aims to prevent sexual assaults on the transport network.

The New York Police Department advises that if you have been a victim of, or a witness to, any form of improper sexual conduct, you should immediately report it to law enforcement or an MTA employee. Do not try to handle it on your own.
