NEW YORK (77WABC) —Police are still searching for the man who slashed and killed a passenger on an L train in Brooklyn after a fight last week.
The victim was identified as 43-year-old Tommy Bailey, a father of three. The killing happened onboard a southbound L train in East New York at about 9 p.m. Friday. September 30.
Police say Bailey got into a dispute with another rider and was slashed across the neck. The killer fled, and what sparked the dispute is unclear.
There were no cameras onboard the train. Last month, the MTA announced that over the next two years, cameras will be installed in every car in the agency’s fleet.
