The dramatic photo of a subway train bearing down on a doomed passenger became a story in its own right — and brought about a flurry of criticism, including from the Village Voice.
On Wednesday, the Post published a first-hand account from freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi where Abbasi detailed his ordeal on the platform.
Today, the Village Voice published an open apology to Abbasi, citing their original criticism of the photo and Abbasi's actions.
"The truth is, we don't know if there was anything Abbasi could have done that he didn't do -- it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback from the comfort of an office in the East Village, especially as the Post ran one of Abbasi's photos of the man just seconds before his death on its cover on Tuesday."

"Our apologies to Abbasi for our uninformed suggestions," the Voice said.
