In the midst of the potty humor comments that were posted, one pointed out that the suspect may have issues.
“I am glad they identified him. We should have some sympathy. He clearly has a problem,” the commenter wrote.
"Our investigators will work through all issues present and proceed with empathy and integrity,” police replied to the concerned commenter. “We will pursue justice in a way that protects the public and considers the totality of the circumstance.” Matt Lee is a web producer for Metro New York.
