Reaper Slashes 6 Train Rider on Halloween

2008_11_reaper.jpgThe NY Post reported that on Friday night, a man dressed as the Grim Reaper slashed a tourist from New Hampshire on a 6 train. Around 9 p.m. near East 59th Street, Ismael Guevera allegedly "shoved a fake sickle in" Lee Dutton's "girlfriend's face". Dutton told him, "You don't need to be doing this," prompting Guevera to take out a boxcutter and slash Dutton's neck, just missing his jugular vein. Guevera also allegedly yelled, "Who's next? Who wants to start s--- next?" Dutton and his girlfriend got out at 68th Street, and Guevera was arrested at 96th Street. Dutton told the Post, "His intentions were definitely there, he just didn't succeed too well."

Oh early 90s, how I missed you.

Good that this @sshole was arrested. Most animals that start shite like this in the subway get off scott free.

Too bad there are no armed law-abiding citizens in this city to take out scum like this on the spot.

Halloween or not the subway is still filled with asshole macho "gangsta" dickwads whose entire life seems to revolve around being inconsiderate cavemen until someone finally has enough and says something at which point things immediately escalate to violence.

Yet again a pendejo proves his cajones are bigger than his cerebro.

Charged with assault? I would have thought this should be attempted murder. The guy went for the jugular, literally. It should be assault if he slashed the face or the chest because that wouldn't have been potentially lethal.

The left tail of the Bell Curve in action again.

That's another idiot we can lock up and forget about. What a moron. This kind of crap needs to be stomped out immediately.

Why are these gangsta tough guys always having their feelings hurt so much?

Welcome back old school New York style freaks! It's been a while has it not?!

is it really necessary for someone to write some comment about "welcoming back old new york" every time someone gets stabbed or the market goes down? seriously, it's not old new york. it's 2008. get over it

Think twice said it best.

Talk about getting carried away with being "in character". This amateur will hopefully meet the real Grim Reaper soon.

The jugular is an artery, no?
