The bulky suspected serial killer, Rex Heuermann, came off as a bully to the former officer, Fox News reported, citing a podcast.

MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY — Accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann blew up at a retired police officer on a train only days before his arrest, then waited for the man after the ride to confront him for a second time, Fox News reported citing a law enforcement podcast.
The man, who declined to be named, said his interaction with Heuermann was "like a road rage without the car," according to a broadcast of "The Ops Desk" podcast on Monday.
The former officer described Heuermann as thinking that owned the train, and that anybody who disagreed with him was going to hear about it in a loud manner.
