Junkies turn NYC subway station into needle graveyard filled with hundreds of used syringes

An Upper Manhattan subway station is a needle graveyard, with the tracks littered with hundreds of used syringes tossed by junkies after they shoot up on the platforms, straphangers say.

“My husband doesn’t let me go out by myself [to the station] at night, he’s horrified,” said chef Laura Licona, 49, of the cavernous 1 Line transit hub at West 181st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue.

“The drug use has been a problem and compounded big time.”

The Post recently witnessed a half-dozen junkies injecting themselves there, just a few yards away from parents and elementary school children.

“If kids are seeing that, I imagine it has some sort of effect on their mental health,” said Andres Ochoa, 23, a pet stylist.
