Fatal Coney Island subway stabbing death of Timothy Rudolph – Obituary
In a tragic incident on Tuesday night, a 54-year-old man lost his life after being fatally stabbed at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn. The victim, Timothy Rudolph, was involved in a dispute on the southbound platform around 11:20 p.m.
The argument escalated, resulting in a physical altercation between Rudolph and an unidentified man. During the struggle, the suspect drew a knife and stabbed Rudolph in the back and thigh. After being attacked, Rudolph managed to stagger to a waiting subway train but collapsed in one of the cars.
Witnesses reported that the assailant may have boarded the same train car before fleeing at Stillwell Avenue. Emergency responders rushed Rudolph to NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
The police are searching for the suspect, described as a bald man in his 30s wearing a green shirt and aqua shorts. This incident marks the ninth homicide in the transit system this year, compared to five at the same time last year.
Residents have expressed concerns over safety in the subway system, with crime in Coney Island up by 18%, driven largely by a significant increase in grand larcenies. Despite this, MTA Chairman Janno Lieber noted that overall transit crime has decreased by 6.1%, highlighting the importance of surveillance cameras in deterring crime and aiding investigations.
