"The suspect who allegedly beat a man to death at the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station has been charged with murder and is due to appear in court on Thursday. Cops said 25-year-old David Mazariegos was arrested in Times Square on Tuesday night after nearby officers recognized him from a photo distributed by the NYPD. He was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, records show, on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and identity theft."
"The man allegedly brutally attacked 64-year-old Bensonhurst resident Nicola Tanzi at the Jay Street-MetroTech station on Oct. 7. Mazariegos didn't like the way [Tanzi] looked at him as Tanzi held a gate open for Mazariegos to pass through, according to the Daily News, and attacked the 64-year-old, leaving him unconscious and unresponsive with trauma about the body, police said. The alleged attacker also reportedly stole Tanzi's wallet before he fled the station and boarded a Bronx-bound 2 train at the nearby Hoyt Street station."
