On Sunday, September 15, New York City police officers shot live rounds at random into the L train at the Sutter Avenue station at the border of Brownsville and East New York, Brooklyn. They were pursuing a Black man who had allegedly skipped the $2.90 fare. They shot him and two unfortunate bystanders—one in the arm, one in the head.

On Wednesday, September 18, hundreds of people gathered at Union Square to carry out a mass fare evasion in response to this heinous attack.
