Welcome to justice in the Big Apple.
The face of somebody you would want falsely imprisoning your wife and demanding money?
Witnesses and police said the chaotic ordeal began when Matthew Roesch, a 49-year-old homeless man, held the emergency gate open for a 40-year-old woman at the Midtown station.
When she tried to walk through, he blocked her way and demanded money from her, according to court documents.
“If you don’t give me a dollar, I’m going to take your purse,” Roesch said, according to police.
She refused, and Roesch began screaming at her, the complaint said.
Cops said Rote warned the panhandler to leave the woman alone — and witnesses told officers that he then whipped out a gun and yelled, “Get away from her!,” sources said.
