The suspect arrested for beating a stranger to death in a Brooklyn subway station confessed to the beatdown, saying he didn’t like the way the victim looked at him after the victim held open a subway gate for the attacker, police sources said Wednesday.
The 25-year-old suspect, who according to his Instagram account is an artist who sells his paintings on the street, was nabbed in Times Square, armed with a sword, hours after the shocking Tuesday afternoon attack.
The attacker got angry with the 50-year-old victim, a security guard, because he didn’t like the way the guard looked at him after the guard held a gate open for the suspect inside the Jay St.-MetroTech subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, the sources said.
After being arrested the suspect said he didn’t need anyone helping
