"Images released by the NYPD earlier Tuesday showed the alleged suspect boarding a Bronx-bound 2 train shortly after the assault. The NYPD says the man wanted in connection with a deadly assault inside the Jay Street subway station in downtown Brooklyn is now in custody. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not yet been released as police work to notify his family."
"Commuters told News 12 the violence has them questioning safety underground. "There's really no boundary anymore where one would say, oh, that's an unsafe area and this is a safe area," said commuter Zee Sachdeba. "I don't think that exists anymore." According to NYPD CompStat data, transit crime in the 84th Precinct-where the station is located-is up about 23% this year, with 47 reported incidents compared to 38 at this time last year. The investigation remains ongoing."
