Marauders Raid Subway Trains Bring Terror
Bands of teenaged Negro marauders terrorized Brooklyn and lower Manhattan over the weekend raiding trains and a ferry boat. Early Sunday 20 youths stormed a Coney Island bound train robbing passengers and smashing windows. They fled to Kings Highway after looting a beauty parlor and taking about $90. A street clash flared as residents reacted. Twelve youths were arrested. Earlier, two men and two youths threatened a motorman with a meat cleaver near Prospect Park then fled as a passenger rung the alarm. Police arrested the four after a passerby alerted officers.
