    This alert from The New York Post: A man was just arrested for last week’s attack on a woman waiting for her train in the Bronx: He had come up from behind her and smeared excrement all over her face, from a bag he’d been carrying. Always advisable to glance at headlines from newspapers other than The New York Times for the New York City lowdown, slanted as it might be. Beware. Such goings-on might be coming to a station near you.

    Update: The man was arrested, booked, and immediately let back out onto the streets.
