BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) - Two men were grabbed and threatened with anti-Jewish rhetoric while riding a subway train in Brooklyn Monday night, police said. The men, ages 20 and 21, were on the southbound No. 3 train approaching the Nostrand Avenue subway station when two suspects picked a fight with them at around 8:40 p.m., according to the NYPD.
According to law enforcement sources, the incident unfolded on Oct. 13 at around 2:15 a.m. on a southbound S train at the Euclid Avenue Subway station in East New York. The 36-year-old victim was on the train when he was approached by the precipitation-prepared perp, who was wearing a hood and carried an umbrella. The duo, unknown to each other, began arguing when suddenly the suspect pulled out a box cutter and waved it around.
Finn Doering, a high-end male model, recorded the police arresting Tarasi Watkins in a Manhattan subway station and was subsequently arrested himself by police officers. His attorney claims this action was retaliatory.
