MTA worker sliced his own hand, lied about being slashed on the subway
The MTA worker who claimed he was attacked in a Queens subway station by an unhinged stranger — going as far as to slash his own hands — all so he could get the summer off told The Post he had a “plausible reason” for the hoax.
Secret Service says it 'disposed of' cocaine found at White House after report of infighting, DNA hit“I would do it all over again,” he added. “I didn’t think I was a poser, pretentious — all of that. The thing is I want to be there for someone I care about. End of the day I had a real good reason for what I did. I’m not crazy.”
Between seeing to his fiancée as she recovers and physical therapy for injuries he said he sustained in a car accident in April, he simply needed a break, he told The Post.“I love my job. I love the MTA. They gave me a chance,” Herring said. “I messed up. I wasn’t thinking. I suggest you don’t try it.”
