GE Security Technology Helps Leads To Arrest In Philadelphia Subway Attack

GE Security Inc. recently announced the company’s MobileView mobile digital recording system helped authorities bring the brutal attacker on the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) Broad Street Line in Philadelphia to justice.

Just hours after releasing surveillance video of the assault to the public, family members of the assailant called authorities to identify the suspect. The moments leading up to and through the brutal hammer assault on a 20-year-old SEPTA passenger were recorded by GE Security’s MobileView video surveillance system.

Designed for buses, light-rail cars, delivery trucks, armored cars and other vehicle environments, MobileView’s clear digital video recording provided authorities with the necessary details to determine the circumstances in which the attack occurred and helped identify the assailant
