MTA budget cuts may have robbed cops of a good description of the subway killer.

 

The slasher and a group of other young men fleeing the Christopher St. station came within inches of a token booth that was shuttered last September.

How so? If it happened on the train, the chances of a good ID from someone in the booth is very slim.
