Man shot dead on New York City subway in latest random attack

NEW YORK - A 48-year-old man was shot in the chest while riding on a New York City subway car on Sunday in what appeared to be the latest in a series of random attacks in the city's transit system.

The unidentified gunman fled when the train pulled into a station in Manhattan and remained at large on Sunday evening, Kenneth Corey, NYPD chief of department, said at a news briefing. "Preliminary investigation reveals the suspect was walking back and forth in the same train car and, without provocation, pulled out a gun and fired it at the victim at close range as the train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge," Corey said.

The gunman, described only as a heavy-set,"dark-skinned" man with a beard wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sweat pants, fled when the train pulled into the next station, Corey said. The suspect and the victim did not appear to know each other and had not interacted prior to the gunfire, police said.
