New York's Brake-Pulling Subway Supervillain Has Delayed More Than 740 Trains

According to statistics in the incident reports, since March of this year, 747 trains have been either delayed or cancelled as a result of service disruptions caused by the same pattern of behavior.

His strategy, such as it is, seems to be to ride on the back of an uptown train, most commonly the 2 or the 5, to a major express stop. He will then pull the emergency brakes, maneuver via the track and across the platform to a train headed in the opposite direction, and do it all over again, plugging both directions of service within minutes.

jumped onto the track, and dashed from the direction the train came, back towards 34th Street.

,..Without police present and Rail Control Center’s approval, Heath was not allowed to follow him, per New York City Transit work rules.

Should be simple enough. Stake out a couple of stations. When the guy is caught, tie him down to the tracks and wait for the next train.

Methinks at some point a crowd of New York commuters will figure out who this guy is and the retibution doled out will be biblical. His best hope is to stop immediately or turn himself in before the mob gets a shot at him.

It is believed the suspect was a man. He was not wearing a hat.

If you have seen a person matching this description, please notify authorities immediately.

>>“What I’d like to do, with the legislature, is to get very harsh penalties in place for people who commit anti-social behavior, in whatever form that takes, I would love to be able to catch these people,” Byford said

This Byford is more of a threat than some lone prankster.

I like your solution. That would certainly stop it, and discourage others too.

We can all read the code. We know to be on the look for a “suspect.”

That doesn’t match the description of the perp I read. It said he was wearing a Red MAGA Hat.

I interpret the “code” to mean a white nationalist Nazi is on the loose.

I realize that some will scowl like wicked witches; but is that not exactly what the Democrat house is doing?
