Thomas Winston, late of Queens, has assumed morgue temperature. The whereabouts of his his dispatcher, whom I will call Bernice Goetz remains unknown, from Kerry Burke and John Lauinger, [1]Daily News [2] (New York):
Several thugs tried to drag a woman off a Queens subway train Thursday night, but she fought back and fatally stabbed one of her tormenters before fleeing on another train, police said.
The large group of men – perhaps as many as eight – surrounded the woman outside a chicken restaurant above the 21st St.-Queensbridge station about 9 p.m., police and a witness said.
It appears the only real man in his story was the one wearing the skirt. The police seem to have no trouble getting a prolonged account on the attack by eight thugs on one woman. To paraphrase Nelse McLeod [3], “It should not have taken eight.” You go girl.
