End of Days: Man Stabbed to Death on New York Train because He Wouldn’t Move His Bag

Posted on November 21st, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

This man has been accused of stabbing a passenger to death on the D train in New York all because the passenger wouldn’t move a bag so, he could sit down. What is really wrong with people!!! Non-sense like this has got to stop…

An argument over a subway seat erupted in deadly violence early Saturday when a straphanger stabbed a stranger on a D train in Manhattan.

Cops quickly nabbed the 37-year-old suspect, thanks to a train conductor who locked the doors and kept him inside the blood-spattered car until police arrived.

The slaying happened near the 53rd St. station about 2 a.m.

The 36-year-old victim had a bag on a seat where the attacker wanted to sit. When he refused to move it, the man pulled out a knife and stabbed him several times in the neck and face, police said.

“The doors on the train were locked and the perp couldn’t get away,” a source said. “that’s how we got him.”

The man was pronounced dead on the northbound train, where pools of blood were left along the length of the first car.

The name of the victim and his accused killer have not been released.

This guy is crazy. He should’ve just went about his business.

When keepin’ it real goes wrong!!
LOLOL 11/21/09, 01:49:PM

Murder is a sin, but how hard is it to move a bag?

You know in general, how hard is it to oepn the door for a stranger,

how hard is it to move out of the way of a stranger appearing to come in your direction,

how hard is it to line up in order,

how hard is it to get up for someone older than you or a woman?

Not that hard, and could be life saving and teach others a valuable lesson of politeness in the end for free!
Syxxif.u.x 11/21/09, 01:50:PM

The conductor locked the door? Where there other people in that section of the train? If there weren’t….then job well done to the conductor……If there were other passengers in that section….then that conductor better be happy and thankful to God that this idiot didn’t attact someone else.
T-BREEZY 11/21/09, 01:52:PM

Well, it as a violation to sit your bags in the seats. They give you tickets for that mess nowadays, but he didn’t have to stab him. Crazy folks…smh.
Ms.EJ 11/21/09, 01:59:PM

@LOLOLO- Excellent points and NO it is not hard at all, but it seems that this generation or my generation do not care about no one other than themselves. Fortunately, the times that I have taken the train or bus older men not the young along with myself have gotten up to give a seat to either a pregnant, disabled or elderly person. Now, combine that with the terrible economy many are ticking time bombs. Its a shame that many people do not value or have a decent respect for human life.
Nikki 11/21/09, 02:01:PM

@ Syxxif.u.x

Thats just what I was about to say.
instantgratitude 11/21/09, 02:02:PM

Makes me wonder as LOLOL did, why didn’t the passenger just move the bag? Then I see this happened at 2am in the morning. How crowded could it be, even in NYC at 2am, maybe the clubs were letting out? But I bet that man had plenty of other places to sit. So, either way he was a crazy, ticking time bomb waiting to explode…
Ms.EJ 11/21/09, 02:04:PM

@NIKKI & SYXXIF.U.X- I know that was nothing but God that the man didn’t wild out even more and went on a stabbing killing spree.
G 11/21/09, 02:10:PM

My thing is this: Were there other seats in the train, or was the train packed with no other seats? At 2 in the morning? I need to know.

If there were no other seats, then victim man could have moved his bag. If seats were everywhere, and mr. stab em up just wanted to sit next to mr. victim man, then Houston, we have a problem.

I am from NYC, and folk come at you like that. Again, my thing is were there other seats, or was the train crowded… at 2 in the morning?

Holla
Ms.EJ 11/21/09, 02:17:PM

Regardless if the victim moved his bag or not is not the issue their is no justification to kill someone (unless defending your life or familes life) point blank period. Why try to rationalize someone being killed over a bag? a life is worth a bag? NO. Clearly, the man was already mentally unstable and maybe was just looking for someone to release his frustrations out on. No one you, me, my mother your mother whoever should not be killed if they refused to do something for a strange that most would find to be courteous.
Playalisticalidocious 11/21/09, 02:29:PM

HOLD UP!!!! The conductor locked the doors? Were there other people in the car with the killer? You can’t just lock the doors and trap innocent passengers with a guy that is willing to kill. SMH.
DC 11/21/09, 02:44:PM

@Playalisticalidocious Yes. My roommate was locked in the car with the other passengers–and the killer.
BRONX 11/21/09, 02:45:PM

STUPID SPI C! LOOK AT THOSE DUMBO EARS!!!!
BangingRiddum 11/21/09, 02:59:PM

I agree with the killer. The guy was being an a**hole for not moving his bag, well there you have it motherf**ker.
Sav 11/21/09, 03:05:PM

I’m from New York… and I think it’s safe to say that at 2-am at the 53rd street stop on the “D” train, it was not overly packed… For those who was on the train probably ran off during the commotion at the next stop. Because if they had been locked in… the report would read “several angry passengers are up in arms as they were left trapped in a blood bath Subway Car with a crazed killer” …this killing is not justified, not over a seat.
I AM MORE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF HE HAS KILLED BEFORE????
Native New Yorker 11/21/09, 03:08:PM

He should’ve moved his bag. Everyone wants to be all “Rah-Rah” and it gets you nowhere. 85% of New Yorkers are crazy.
WHAT!!!!!!! 11/21/09, 03:28:PM

All this killing is getting out of hand!! Make you want to just stay home and play dominoes!!!

EleKtrik EccEntriK (RIP Shaniyah Davis, Innocence Lost) 11/21/09, 03:51:PM

@ 2 a.m. I guess he didn’t want to sit in the seat with the homeless pee in it lol
Nah but he shouldn’t stab up dude for that reason. Silly Sick F*ckin Rabbit.
And that conductor was out for self. He should’ve gotten stabbed on default for putting other people’s lives in danger.
memchee 11/21/09, 03:51:PM

the killer must have some kinda mental problem.
EleKtrik EccEntriK (RIP Shaniyah Davis, Innocence Lost) 11/21/09, 03:51:PM

sorry, by default.
Darth H8ter 11/21/09, 04:26:PM

Sad indeed. 3 things could come out of this positive. Rude douchebags will think twice about keeping bags on the seat and there is one less inconsiderate ass one the street and one less crazy person walking around
On the real... 11/21/09, 04:33:PM

Do away with him… take him to the guillotine. Oh, we don’t use those anymore huh– b’cuz we should. No more prisons/prisoners… let’s get it over with.

I would also like to add, how hard is it not to carry a knife!
bklynlady 11/21/09, 05:42:PM

THAT ISH IS CRAZY BECAUSE THE SUBWAY AT 2 A.M ISN’T EVEN CROWDED!!!!!!!! HARDLY ANYONE IS ON THE SUBWAY DURING THOSE HOURS! THIS MAN IS JUST A SICK NUT!
bklynlady 11/21/09, 05:43:PM

THEREFORE, THERE HAD TO HAD BEEN PLENTY OF SEATS TO WHERE THIS MAN COULD HAVE SAT ANYWHERE….. WHICH WAS MY POINT.
bklynlady 11/21/09, 05:45:PM

He had issues out the gate… Aint no crowded train at 2am on 53rd st in Midtown…. I take that D train to the Bronx a lot… Very unfortunate incident..
divina luz 11/21/09, 07:17:PM

It’s f***ed up, thats fo sure, but it doesnt surprise me….I used to work in a café, and I left because a boy threw his coffee at me,saying he wanted it done differently, ( actually , he said “give me a normal coffee, b*****” and then spat on me cos I refused to help him further.Boss had stepped out for a minute,so he didn’t see what actually happened, but he didn’t defend me, cos times are hard , and he wants to keep what few customers he still has.
I will not work with the general public any more, I now work looking after handicapped people at a private complex. Muthas are too crazy, and I got a 15 year old who needs me alive!
This kid threatened to “break all the teeth out my mouth”after closing that day, so I left, filed a police report, and never been back!
divina luz 11/21/09, 07:20:PM

@ Kalie21,
Pots, kettles?
The crazy bit, not the aids, we won’t dignify THAT with a response, sheesh…..
divina luz 11/21/09, 07:23:PM

Oh, and one more thing, I have picked people’s bag up my dam self and moved it, if they won’t do it after I have asked.
Dude should have done that , and if there was nowhere else to put it, he could have hung it on one of his ears….
Kool Breeze 11/21/09, 07:32:PM

OMG.. the guy with the bag should darn well know that in a place like nyc you don’t squabble with strangers over a daggone seat. A small slight like this would set off most deranged individuals.
MissBr0nx 11/21/09, 08:14:PM

The D is probably one of the least busy lines so I know for a fact that it wasn’t packed at 2 in the morning. Most likely this guy was just crazy and lookin for problems. SMH! And I gotta take the D to go to my parents house on thanksgiving and I hate that dirty train that hasn’t been updated since 1985. ugh!
Me Nuh Ramp 11/21/09, 08:24:PM

LOL @KALIE21 you might be the only person on the thread who believes he is “spanish”
Get Real 11/21/09, 08:41:PM

why don’t I feel sorry for the victim?
Gradschool 11/21/09, 08:47:PM

@Ms EJ and blkynlady, well said, you can never, NEVER rationalize killing someone if your life or the life of a loved one is not being threatened. The guy was CRAZY, there are plenty of seats on the train at 2am especially on the D. I live in NYC too and that ish is totally out of order. I hope he ends up spending the rest of his life in jail, where he will have to give up his “seat” to all those sex hungered men in there with him.
STFU 11/21/09, 08:55:PM

The D train does stay packed at all times of the night and is no dirtier or older than the A, C, or any other NYC train line. But weather it was packed or not is not the issue here, someone lost their life over a seat!! Whats next, people loosing their lives for standing in the doorway?? Swift, harsh, and brutal legal action should be immediately taken against this murderer.
dia 11/21/09, 09:16:PM

were their other people in the car? cuz that would have been horrible to be locked in their with a dead body and a murderer. HE needs help also.. becasue he knows good and well he could have stood and or just asked again or moved the bag himself.. no need to kill someone
LOLOL 11/21/09, 09:44:PM

Amazing the dude looks Hispanic and carries s a hispanic surname, SANCHEZ!

Go read the source
mo 11/21/09, 09:49:PM

i totally agree with the comments that the victim should have just moved his bag to avoid conflict, but in all honesty-i take that train everyday and it is never THAT packed at 2am–im sure there must have been other available seats ESPECIALLY if the conductor was willing to lock the attacker in the car. I just think this guy was looking to start something and the victim was probably just trying to get somewhere. this is a very sad & disturbing story.
Me Nuh Ramp 11/21/09, 10:07:PM

@ LOLOL just because a person has a spanish name don’t make them spanish. there are alot of people with spanish names who don’t originate from Spain.

New York dudes be on some murder murder for bs reasons

Nathaniel's Mommy 11/22/09, 01:42:AM

@Ms EJ..you are so right “people are ticking time bombs”

What is this world coming to?
Just yesterday on the #6, a guy dropped his bag on the seat next to me, started yawing and just acting wierd..I smiply got up and gave him his space. You just got to let crazy be crazy.
