Subway service was suspended in Manhattan on the 2/3 line Saturday afternoon when police say a naked man attacked two people at a staton before suffering from a fatal injury.

Authorities say the naked man grabbed the third rail, electrocuting himself, after engaging with the victims on the tracks of a subway line. The incident started just after 3:30 p.m. at the Central Park North - 110th Street station in Manhattan, police said.

The suspect allegedly pushed the first victim onto the tracks in an unprovoked attack, police said as part of their initial report. When a witness lowered down onto the road bed to assist the victim, the naked man repeated his attacks, this time on the witness.

Now there’s a headline I didn’t expect to see today ... or ever.

I don’t know if God laughs or cries at us...or both.

In 1996 I was doing a 2 month eurailpass trip. I was in Bordeaux France and it was quite hot. In the train station a streaker zipped through rather quickly. One registers shock but by the time one turned around he was gone with the wind so to speak.

The original social distancing

Must have been visiting from Florida.

That was my first thought, too.

That’s a shame.

I never saw the movie but the song by Bobby Womack is great.

What kind of helpless pu*sy do you need to be to let some naked as*h*le throw you onto subway tracks?

C'mon man!

Shocking....

Some warriors of ancient cultures battled in the nude so that their opponents would have nothing (or at least less) to grab on to. Maybe this guy was one of those.

Situational awareness tip of the day: If you ever see a naked person in a subway station, step back as far as you can from the edge of the platform.
