Good thing they are getting around to looking for him now…on Feb. 28th…when the incident happened 2 1/2 months ago.
Not sure why they wouldn’t put the picture out sooner but I’m sure they have their reasons.
I can’t help but wonder what the ‘verbal dispute’ was about. Sounds like someone looked at someone the wrong way. A serious offence in the NYC transit system.
Or maybe the victim was wearing a Red Sox hat or a Patriots jersey?? I mean, I would have hit him myself if I would’ve seen that.:)
December?
Really
Bad hombre obviously.
