“50-60 year old black male in jeans and sneakers.” Thanks NYPD, that really narrows it down.
That guy in the picture looks disabled in a different way…
“A surveillance photo of the suspect taken by a witness is attached”
Why didn’t this “witness” inform the train conductor or call 911?

How would you think the vic was removed from the train and taken to Maimonides Meat Market?
