What can New York City genuinely do to keep mentally unstable people in psychosis off of the subway? /u/XShadeGoldenX No such thing as stupid questions

If you don’t know what I’m referring to, a woman was killed in the subway in Coney Island today after being lit on fire. I speak from personal experience that when I’ve been in the subway in NYC I’ve run into many mentally ill people who desperately need help and are a danger to themselves and others. But how does one make progress to fix a problem like this? We can’t just put them all in jail because many of them haven’t committed crimes, but they also can’t be harassing and threatening people everyday. Do more psychiatric hospitals need to be built to help house people who are going through psychosis? I really don’t know what the best way to combat this problem is, but there needs to be something done to help address this problem
