I mean, I’m not trying to victim blame… but really? Sleeping on the train?
Lock this dirt bag up and throw away the key. We need more Cops on the 7 at night.
Grand Larceny? How much money did this guy have in his wallet?! Also who still carries money in their wallet. I haven’t heard of pocket cutting in a long time, super ballsy. Hope they get this perp.
Glad they got a good picture of this creep!! No sleeping on the train please!!!
