Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz stated, "As alleged, the defendants stole the possessions of a sleeping man on the train. As he attempted to get his possessions back, the defendants repeatedly punched and kicked the 69-year-old victim." This highlights the brutal nature of the attack against the elderly man, who was merely trying to defend himself and reclaim what was taken from him.
After the brawl ensued, the victim fatally stabbed one assailant and slashed another. Katz confirmed, "As of now, no charges are filed against the elderly victim of the robbery. The investigation into the death is ongoing." This indicates the complexities of legal accountability in self-defense cases.
