“A bully who attacked a subway rider while yelling homophobic slurs was busted after three months on the loose for trying to skip a train fare, cops and sources said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results for this claim refer to a different incident involving a 25-year-old man arrested for a homophobic attack in 2023, not the specific details of being busted three months later for fare evasion as claimed. The evidence provided does not corroborate the specific sequence of events (attack followed by arrest for fare evasion three months later) for the subject mentioned in the claim.
