Man Dies After Q Train Runs Him Over at 23rd Street Station, NYPD Says
The Daily News report, after assuring the public that the police "do not suspect criminality" includes this closing laugh line: "The investigation is ongoing."
Of course it is.
Who would imagine that a lone traveler using the subway late at night might possibly have been a crime victim?
Why would anyone suspect that the reason the New York City subway (which installed surveillance cameras where they can record fare beaters has virtually none on platforms and mezzanines where they could record attacks on passengers) is to enable the management of the NYPDs Transit Bureau can keep Transit bosses and Transit lawyers happy by assuring the public "there is no evidence of criminality?"

MANHATTAN — A man was found dead in the 23rd Street subway station after a Q train ran him over early Sunday, NYPD officials said.
The train suddenly stopped when its emergency brakes were triggered and the motorman discovered the body when he went out to inspect the rails in the station near Broadway about 4:30 a.m., police said.
The man, who is believed to be in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Police said they don't suspect any criminality was involved.
Of course it is.
