The conductor said that he was unable to stop the train before fatally striking a 20-year-old.
Cans of spray paint were found near the body of a 20-year-old graffiti artist who was struck and killed by a subway in Brooklyn early Monday, police said.
The man, whose name wasn’t immediately released, was hit by a Manhattan-bound D train at the 59th St. station. Transit officials said the motorman tried to stop the train just after 5 a.m., but couldn’t bring it to a halt in time.
Police withheld the man’s name pending notification of his family. He was found in a tunnel. It wasn’t immediately clear if the man had already vandalized the interior of the tunnel or was about to tag it.
Service was stalled during the early part of the morning rush. Trains were diverted to the N line.

About once a year Peter Vallone Jr seeks out publicity as Queens top anti graffiti politician, now he’s trying to ban fatcaps sales to people under the age of 21. Vallone is going to ban fatcap sales because of how wildly successful they’ve been in stopping the sale of spray paint to kids under 21 in the city…LOL.
“Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. said he will introduce legislation this month to ban sales of fat caps to anyone under 21 and require older patrons to show ID.”

He was indicted on accounts of assault and robbery. This comes a few hours after LTV Squad posted Gelman’s apparent Flickr accounts documenting his own graffiti.

Kenny Scharf, the longtime Brooklyn-based Pop artist whose work currently graces the coveted mural space at Bowery and Houston recently wound up on the bad side of the city’s graffiti community. Not only did he recruit a friend to fix his mural after it was bombed last week (before and after shots above), but Scharf’s non-Christo-inspired “Gates Project” to paint over tags on businesses’ security gates around the city isn’t going over well with graffiti artists.
Scharf, in conjunction with Anonymous Galleryand the Mediacy Group’s Gatescapes Program, has painted temporary murals in his signature cartoon-inspired style on the security gates of a handful of Downtown shops, in some cases going over pre-existing tags and graffiti with apparent disregard for the street art honor code.
A picture of Scharf painting over a piece byDeno while wearing UGGs and tight jeans generated some animosity from commenters over on ANIMAL, prompting the artist himself to take to the comments section with an earnest, humble and totally ignored apology: (read more)
A Chicago art student suspected of tagging subway cars up and down the East Coast was nabbed when he emailed photos of his handiwork to friends back home, prosecutors say.
Zebadiah Arrington, 19, was held on $10,000 bail at his arraignment in Queens Supreme Court on Thursday for allegedly scrawling his signature “Zeb” tag on seven A, F and 7 trains since 2007. The damage estimate was $7,600.
Arrington has been charged with tagging subway cars in Manhattan, and he’s a suspect in tagging incidents in Boston,Philadelphia, New Jersey and Brooklyn, Queens prosecutors say.
His tagging foray could force him to give up his slot at the prestigious Chicago Art Institute, his lawyer says.
“Zebadiah Arrington is a very unusual young man,” said his lawyer Florian Miedel.
“He’s working hard to channel his creative output in a productive way.”
Prosecutors say Arrington spray-painted “Bomb the System,” “Year 2010 Yo,” “Nyke” and “Slugs” on the Queens trains.
A member of the Chicago-based national graffiti crew known as Chicago’s Most Wanted, his “Zeb” tag includes arrows on the bottom of the Z and the B.
Cops nabbed him after getting a judge to authorize a wiretap.
