Authorities suspect that a male individual was already deceased when another man purportedly perpetrated explicit activities on the corpse onboard a subway train in the heart of Manhattan. The law enforcement agency responsible for New York City, namely the NYPD, is currently on a manhunt for an individual suspected of desecrating a dead body in public transit.
The shocking incident was reported to have taken place during the early hours of Thursday, April 9, specifically in the moments after midnight. This ghastly act was carried out on a southbound R train, operating in proximity to the famed Whitehall Street station situated in the district of Lower Manhattan.
Records suggest that the deceased had boarded the subway around the eight o’clock hour in the evening. The individual believed to be responsible for the grisly act was reported to have joined the train at Whitehall Street station close to 11 P.M. The information at hand led authorities to the understanding that the man had passed away prior to the unacceptable violation committed against him.
From the preliminary hints gathered at the scene, the cause of death of the victim doesn’t appear suspicious but looks more towards a natural occurrence. The assailant, after ensuring the victim’s lifeless state, reportedly ransacked the man’s pockets before undertaking the explicit act.
This still-unidentified person is suspected to have engaged in sexual activity with the lifeless adult male before making an escape on foot. This untoward incident, as disclosed by the police department, has triggered a citywide alarm to arrest the perpetrator.
Law enforcement officials are urging citizens to remain vigilant, aiding in the search for the suspect who was last seen in a distinctive array of clothing. Reportedly, at the time of his escape, he wore a blue baseball hat, a black jacket with a hood, a yellow sweatshirt also with a hood, and blue denim trousers. His feet were spotted in red and white sneakers, and he was carrying a black backpack.
The mystery behind the story rose when a separate connection was observed by the police in the incident. Just over an hour before the alleged sexual violation took place, another individual was spotted in suspicious activity. This person, a woman, is now suspected of having stolen items from the deceased before making her own getaway.
Identified by her apparel in the last sighting, the woman was dressed in a yellow hoodie, black trousers, and a black baseball hat. The search for this woman is now tied with the grotesque crime that took place in the subway.
