He should have just paid the $2.50.
An aspiring Queens rapper was caught jumping a subway turnstile — and cops soon learned he was wanted in a murder and two shootings, police sources said.
Hakeem “Flow Cash” Jamison, a reputed Crips gang member, put up a fight when he was arrested on March 20 at the Northern Boulevard R station in Woodside, wrestling undercover cop Darryl Knight to the ground before passers-by helped subdue the suspect, police said.“A couple of Good Samaritans helped me get him in cuffs,” Knight told The Post.
While Jamison, 18, was being charged with assault and drug possession, his name popped up in connection with the shootings of two people near a housing project in Ravenswood in December 2012.
He has been charged with attempted murder and assault in that case.
He is also a suspect in a homicide in the 103rd Precinct last year, police said.
“This is a real, real bad guy,” Capt. Michael Telfer, commanding officer of Transit District 20, said at a precinct community meeting.
Records show Jamison has five arrests dating back at least two years.
The day of his fare beating, Jamison boasted on his Facebook page that his fledgling rap career — with the requisite YouTube video — was “on the rise” and that his new single was “dropping” soon.
