Hip-hop star-turned-MTA conductor feels ‘shell-shocked’ after NYC subway shooting

The conductor of a packed Brooklyn train where an unhinged passenger was shot in the head with his own gun during a rush-hour attack said he no longer feels safe on the job.

Fred Reeves, 58, can’t escape harrowing images and sounds from the chaotic clash between two subway riders while he was at the helm of an express A train as it pulled into the Hoyt-Schermerhorn streets station.

“I am shellshocked,” Reeves, of East Flatbush in Brooklyn, told The Post Saturday. “Like, my nerves are just through the roof.”

Reeves, better known as rapper “Doc Ice” from legendary Brooklyn hip-hop groups UTFO and Whodini, said he immediately sprang into action Thursday upon seeing distressed riders as the train neared the Hoyt-Schermerhorn streets station.

Panicked passengers started rushing toward Reeves’ car, frantically knocking on the door as the conflict between Younece Obuad and an unhinged DaJuan Robinson escalated to gunfire.
