On Saturday, the NYPD effectively informed a train
conductor to seal passengers in a subway car with a murderer.
Apparently, creating potential hostage situations is a new
crime stopping tactic.
"Nearly 30 petrified passengers were trapped on a Midtown
hell train yesterday with a knife-wielding madman and the blood-soaked body of a
straphanger he just stabbed to death in a senseless argument over a seat," The
New York Post reported Sunday. "The Bronx-bound D train came to a screeching
halt at around 2 a.m. in the tunnel between the Rockefeller Center and Seventh
Avenue stations when a rider yanked the emergency cord after watching the
carnage unfold."
The paper adds, "The group of riders were stuck in the car
behind locked doors as a pool of blood began to form around the dying man and
the suspect, Gerardo Sanchez, 37, of The Bronx, coldly stood over him.
Eventually, Sanchez strolled to one end of the car, and the rest of the
passengers fled to the opposite end."
