Subway Vigilante Bernie Goetz -- Back on His Feet
Subway Vigilante Bernie Goetz Back on His Feet
Infamously known as the NYC subway vigilante after shooting four men who tried to mug him back in 1984, Bernhard Goetz was spotted walking the streets of Manhattan armed with only a bag of groceries this weekend.
Goetz was eventually found guilty of criminal possession of a weapon and served eight months in jail.
While he did run for mayor of NYC in 2001 and even appeared in a few small films, the 64-year-old currently owns a store called Vigilante Electronics.
Fun fact: Goetz is mentioned in Billy Joel's hit song "We Didn't Start the Fire."
