The NYPD commended the officers’ quick work and the use of technology in capturing the culprit. “Getting the identification through.
The body-worn cameras was crucial,” said Michael Kemper, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s top security officer.
A $10,000 reward was offered by Crime Stoppers for information that resulted in the suspect’s apprehension.
Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, praised the people who reported the suspect to the police and denounced the crime.
Adams said in a statement, “We are dedicated to working hard to ensure that there is swift justice for all victims of violent crime, and this type of depraved behavior has no place in our subways.”
