BRONX - Police say they have nabbed the Subway Psycho who stabbed to death a Citifield maintenance worker on a Bronx subway platform for apparently no reason. 




Cops arrested Saquan Lemons of Sedgwick Avenue. The 27-year-old was charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal posession of a weapon in the brutal stabbing death of Charles Moore inside a Morris Heights subway station. 



Cops say as Moore and Lemons exited the Number 4 subway car at the E. 176th Street and Jerome Avenue station, Lemons allegedly pounced. The attacker pulled out a large knife and repeatedly stabbed him on the elevated train platform, cops say. He was rushed to Lincoln Hospital but died a short time later.

Moore was riding the subway as he was coming home from work as a maintenance worker at Citifield.  


Investigators still have no motive as to why Moore was murdered.
