NEW YORK - The NYPD wants your help finding a man they say fired shots at another man while interrupting an attempted robbery on a subway platform Tuesday night. It happened at 9:13 p.m. at the 49th Street N, R, W subway station in Manhattan, near Times Square. No one was injured. Sources tell CBS New York that Matthew Roesch, 49, was panhandling on the subway platform and approached a 40-year-old woman, demanding her bag.
Roesch was taken into custody by responding officers and charged with attempted robbery. The person who fired the shots took off. Police are searching for him. Mayor Eric Adams signed a law last year declaring Times Square a gun-free zone, making it illegal to carry concealed weapons in the area. They describe him as 35-45, 5'9', and about 230 pounds. He was last seen wearing a light green t-shirt, black shorts, white socks, black sneakers, a green book bag, and a green B&H bag.
