Joseph Lozito, the MMA aficionado who fought off alleged murderer Maksim Gelman as he raged through the subway, returned to work selling tickets at Lincoln Center yesterday. But not without some help. Boss Pete Meyers apparently insisted that Lozito ride the subway with a bodyguard, even though he seemed to do a fine job fighting off his attacker. "He doesn't want me to ride the train by myself," Lozito told the Daily News.
Lozito is still sporting scars on his head and neck from where Gelman slashed him, but one ticket buyer remarked, "Congratulations on not being dead." Always a good thing to hear first thing on a Monday! Lozito said of Gelman, "I hope to stand face to face with him and tell him how I am feeling." Meanwhile, the motorwoman whose door Gelman banged on took a few days of comp time to recover from the scare.
