NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The two men discovered on Wednesday after they were fatally struck by a train were identified on Friday as French graffiti artists who were attempting to tag a subway car.
Julien Blanc, a 34-year-old father of two, and Pierre Audebert, 28, were discovered dead on the northbound 3 train line near the Sutter Avenue-Rutland Road station in Brownsville just before 7 a.m. after the FDNY responded to a report from a subway worker of bodies near the tracks.
The NYPD investigation indicated the men had been hit in the early hours of Wednesday morning or late Tuesday night.
Ceet Fouad, a French-Algerian graffiti artist who worked with Blanc and Audebert told Gothamist the three men met for dinner the night before but didn’t discuss plans to tag a train.
"RIP my brothers," wrote Fouad on Instagram. "I will love you forever."
