Lock this nigger up in a zoo cage and never let it out again.
Four New York City Police Department transit officers apprehended a serial
subway slashing suspect and a murder suspect within 24 hours, police
announced Tuesday.
Claude White, 32, is charged with second-degree murder after allegedly
stabbing a man on the subway on Saturday morning, and Kemal Rideout, 28,
is charged with three counts of felony assault for allegedly stabbing
three women on the subway on Sunday afternoon.
"These same officers were literally working around the clock to find this
male to end his threat and to provide justice to the victims. And hard
work and good police work pays off," NYPD Chief of Transit Michael Kemper
said during a Tuesday press conference.
He continued, "I cannot understate how proud and impressed I am by the
officers present with us. Simply put, phenomenal, great police work, work
with meaning and work with tremendous value, and work
that NYPD cops
across all of New York City do each and every day."
On Tuesday morning, the four transit officers nabbed Rideout after he
allegedly slashed the legs of three women ages 19, 28 and 48 on the
subway around 4:20 p.m. before exiting the car. Their injuries were non-
life-threatening, according to police.
Rideout's priors include forcible touching, assault, attempted rape and
criminal mischief in Norwich and Riverhead.
Rideout was also apparently evading bus fare, MTA chair and CEO Janno
Lieber said Tuesday. Police apprehended the suspect as he was snacking on
a bag of chips after he was kicked off a bus for fare evasion, The New
York Post reported.
Kemper described the slashings as "unprovoked," saying the suspect and
victims were "completely unknown to each other."
The murder suspect, White, accused of stabbing a victim on a southbound
No. 4 train at the Union Square-14th Street stop in Manhattan on Saturday
over a "narcotics dispute," was on parole for a December 2022 robbery.
He also had a bench warrant for drinking in public, and eight priors,
including grand larceny, assault and robbery, bank robbery, trespassing
and fare evasion.
NYPD cameras captured White on camera Saturday morning, and on Monday
around 10:40 a.m., the four transit officers observed him trying to enter
the subway without paying and apprehended him.
Kemper named the four officers involved in both arrests as Clyde Jasmin,
Ivan Nunez, Bonnie Wong and Jazmin Roman.
Kemper said the NYPD has dedicated "over a thousand" additional officers
to patrol the subway system since last fall. The NYPD has seen about a 6%
decrease in subway crime and about 66% less subway crime victims so far
this year compared to the same time last year. There has been a 52%
increase in subway crime-related arrests. Fare evasion arrests have
increased 143%, he said.
"We're never going to be happy with any crime," Kemper added. "We
recognize that we have a lot of work to do.
We are not pounding our
chest and waving the flag of victory. That is not what's happening here.
But what we want to say and what
Lieber mentioned was a lot of
investments, a lot of effort, and great police work has stabilized crime
from where it was last year in years past. And we're going to continue
this."

He was just having an "episode"? Right AOC? Police and innocent
bystanders should have just left the slasher alone. It isn't his fault
his mental capacity makes him slash people. Those subway riders should
ride on a different car and pay better attention to their surroundings...
