Subway Performers See Spike In Arrests Under Mayor's New Policy

NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 13: The young performers who go by name "MM and J" wait for a train before performing a rap for passengers on the 7 train headed to Queens on August 13, 2014 in New York City. As part of his controversial "broken windows" policing policy, New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton has been having officers crack down on subway performers. Dancers, musicians and other subway performers gathered on City Hall steps yesterday to protest what they called heavy-handed policing. The performers, who usually ask for tips after their show, have been a constant presence in the trains for decades. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
