NYC Subway Horror: Man Sexually Assaults Corpse After Robbery
In a shocking incident, a man was caught on camera sexually assaulting a corpse on a New York City subway train. Authorities are investigating the disturbing case, which follows an earlier robbery of the same victim.
The Grisly Details
The incident occurred on a southbound R train near the Whitehall Street station in Manhattan. Surveillance footage shows the suspect, described as wearing a blue baseball cap, black hooded jacket, yellow hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and red-and-white sneakers, engaging in sexual contact with the unconscious victim.
Before the assault, the suspect was seen stealing items from the victim's pockets. A separate incident occurred earlier, where a woman robbed the same victim before the assault.

Public Safety Concerns
The horrific incident has raised concerns about safety on the NYC subway system, although statistics generally show subway violence to be relatively rare. This follows other recent high-profile incidents, including a woman being set on fire and a man being pushed onto the tracks.
Police believe the victim died of natural causes before both robberies and the assault.
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the NYPD's Crimestoppers website: https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/
