| Good Samaritan Arrested After Stopping NYC Subway Assault By Firing Warning Shots |
| 2023-11-12 |
| [ZERO] A man with no criminal history who saved a woman from being attacked by a homeless man has been arrested and charged by the Manhattan DA with criminal possession of a firearm and reckless endangerment because he fired a warning shot, stopping the assault. No foto of the suspect was made available. Officials, who aren't protecting vulnerable citizens, are pissed. "I’ve looked at the video," said New York City Transit President Richard Davey at a news conference Wednesday. "It’s, I would say unusual. He sort of looks very calm, pulls out a gun, fires two shots, calmly puts the gun back in the bag and walks away." "The point is, that’s not what we need from anybody in this system," Davey continued. John Rote, 43 is originally from West Virginia and has ties out of state, but no criminal history, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. His attorney did not respond to a request for comment. "Thank goodness nobody was hurt here—but what happened was outrageous, reckless, and unacceptable," Mr. Davey said in a statement released after Rote was arrested. |
