NYC straphanger shoots ‘aggressive’ rider in head after wrestling gun away from him during fight: cops

A man was shot in the head at a Brooklyn subway station on Thursday afternoon, police said.

Police said the shooting took place at around 4:50 p.m. at the A/C Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets station — which houses the NYPD’s 30th transit precinct.

A person of interest was taken into custody, the NYPD said, adding a gun was recovered at the scene.

The victim was brought to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition, cops said.

A subway car at the station was “covered with blood and ballistics” when police arrived, a source said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the violence, which came just over a week after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she was sending hundreds of National Guard and state police troops into the subways to help with bag checks as a way to curb transit crime.

No guardsmen were at the Brooklyn station when the rush-hour shooting broke out.

Terrified straphangers ducked for cover on the packed train car in the moments after the shooting, according to video from ABC journalist Jordan Philippe, who was on the subway when gunfire erupted.

Welcome to Democrat New York City. This happened during rush hour, not at 4 AM.

“Man shot in the head in NYC subway during rush hour”

IDIOT. The idea of using the NYC Subway during Rush Hour is just as stupid as using it at 4 AM. Should have used Uber.

I don’t get it.

Isn’t the NYC Subways a gun-free zone?

Yeah, Governor Hochul the Fool promised National Guardsmen protecting everyone from the likes of Daniel Perry, not the criminal he defended people against.

Hochul can’t even make Stop-and-Frisk work.

I guess the perp wasn’t carrying a bag for the national guard to check.

Thirty or 40 years ago, it was the Guardian Angels that took to the subways to make them safe. Now they are bringing in actual National Guard personnel to help restore order.

“A person of interest was taken into custody, the NYPD “

That is called a “suspect”’

If he were a suspect, I think New York would have already released him without bail.

So much for putting the National Guard in NY’s subways. Anybody with half-a-brain knew it wouldn’t change anything.

The shooter was the guy the victim pointed a gun at.

He disarmed the victim and then shot him in the head with the victim's gun.

Sounds like a case of FAFO.
