New York City police are investigating a deeply disturbing case that has shocked commuters and residents alike. According to NYPD officials, an unidentified suspect is being sought for allegedly se—ally abusing a deceased man aboard a subway train in Lower Manhattan.
The incident occurred around 12:08 a.m. at the Whitehall-South Ferry Station, when officers responded to reports of an unconscious man aboard a train. Upon arrival, emergency responders determined that the man had already died of natural causes before the alleged assault took place.
Authorities say the suspect took advantage of the situation while the body remained unnoticed for a short period. The NYPD has released surveillance images of the person believed to be responsible and is actively asking for the public’s help in identifying him.
“This is a horrifying and tragic case,” said one NYPD spokesperson. “We are treating this as a top priority and working around the clock to find the individual involved.”
The suspect remains at large, and the incident has reignited concerns over public safety and mental health services in the subway system.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline.
