The only detail of physical description of any of the assailants is that one of the twelve had long blond hair.
Funny how that one detail is given. The hair color of the other eleven, along with any other physical descriptor, is not included.
Authentic Blondes on the portion of the 4 train that traverses the Bronx are about as usual as Eskimos in Hawaii. Suspect some artificial hair coloring products were in play here. Mentioning the race of the assailants not important: New Yorkers knew that when they read the headline.
