Here’s The Man Responsible For The Bedford L Death
Gothamist
As you may have read by now, on Friday night an L train struck and killed a 20-year-old man who had fallen on to the subway tracks during a fight. We’ve posted about subway deaths before, but this one hits close to home as it happened at the Bedford L station.
According to accounts, two men were arguing on the train when things became physical. The altercation eventually moved out to the platform and both men fell on to the tracks. When the Manhattan-bound train approached, one man got out and fled, while the other was hit.
Initial reports seemed to put both men at fault, while later reports claimed the victim, a local college student named Joshua Basin, had been attacked by a drunk man.
Police have released a sketch of the suspect. Here is the description from Gothamist: “The suspect is described as a white male, between 30 and 35 years old, with a thin build, light complexion, dirty blond hair with pock marks on the right side of his face. He was wearing brown pants, black rain jacket and black sneakers.”

looks like just another hipster douche on Bedford Ave to me
Wow. Didn’t take long for some asshole to throw “hipster” in there. Lazy, at best.
Nope. He looks like Joe Dirt or guido from rockaway or south brooklyn. “hipster douches” are quite peaceful not like this monster.
