At 6 feet 1 and 350 pounds, Eric Najee Derrickson is not a guy most sane people would mess with.
But Tuesday afternoon, someone jumped Derrickson, 23, of West Philadelphia, in an underground concourse in Center City, stomping his head so severely that he remained in critical condition on life support yesterday at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
The attack happened in a city-owned pedestrian concourse outside the westbound subway platform at 13th and Market streets, in almost the same spot where a pack of thugs ambushed Starbucks manager Sean Patrick Conroy last March, sparking a fatal asthma attack.
And both assaults occurred on busy weekday afternoons, leaving Derrickson's distraught relatives and many SEPTA riders with deep questions about security on a public-transit system that averages 1 million passengers daily.
SEPTA officials say that the attack wasn't random.
Preliminary information from SEPTA police suggests that Derrickson and his attacker got into an argument that erupted into a fistfight, SEPTA spokesman Felipe Suarez said.
But witnesses told city police that they didn't see how the incident started, said Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman. Rather, they saw a man standing over Derrickson's prone body, repeatedly stomping on his head, Little said.
The attack ended only after riders on the opposite subway platform hollered and ran for aid, police said.
There were no surveillance cameras to catch the incident, which occurred on the unpaid side of the subway turnstiles in a concourse that runs between City Hall and the Gallery.
Some details are undisputed.
Derrickson, the nephew of two city homicide detectives, had gone downtown to Family Court to make a child-support payment, said Chernia Williams, 26, of Upper Darby, who has a 2-year-old daughter, Erica, with Derrickson.
Williams said that she last talked to her ex-beau, with whom she remains on good terms, by cell phone at about 2:45 p.m. as he headed into Family Court. When she didn't hear from him again, she worried that he had encountered a hard-nosed judge who jailed him as punishment for his support arrearage.
Instead, she later learned, Derrickson had been rushed to Jefferson after the 3:25 p.m. attack left him unconscious, bleeding profusely and gasping for air.
Yesterday, he was on a ventilator, hooked up to a cranial monitor to gauge brain swelling and surrounded by countless other beeping, whirring machines.
"This mother------ tried to kill my baby," Cross said of her son's attacker. "I could be planning my son's funeral right now. I want justice. I want to know who did this. If anybody knows who did this, just call, so he can get justice for what he did."At 6 feet 1 and 350 pounds, Eric Najee Derrickson is not a guy most sane people would... more

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Philadelphia Police are searching for a person of interest who viciously attacked a sleeping rider with a hammer on SEPTA's Broad Street Line.
Authorities said 20-year-old Dewayne Taylor, a lab technician at the University of Pennsylvania, was attacked near Broad and Fairmount Streets in the early morning hours of September 4.
Investigators said the suspect had a young boy with him at the time of the apparently unprovoked assault.
Surveillance footage shows the suspect sitting the young boy down before striking Taylor repeatedly with a hammer over a five minute period.
When the train stopped, the suspect continued to assault the victim on the platform before fleeing the scene with the young boy.
"Why me? I don't know you from a can of paint. Why me?" Taylor said.
Police said other passengers on board the train did not assist the victim, but someone called 911.
"I think somebody should have helped this guy," Detective Kenneth Roach said.
Taylor re-boarded the train following the incident and went to Temple University Hospital. Family members said he suffered numerous injuries to his head.
"My son has eight staples in his head, he has six stitches in the back of his neck, he has a broken finger," Tracie Taylor said. "His intentions was to kill someone but it just happened to be my son."
Police believe Taylor did not know his attacker and nothing was taken during the assault by the attacker. However, police said another passenger stole Taylor's cell phone during the attack and resold it for $150.
The incident remains under investigation.PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Philadelphia Police are searching for a person of interest... more
