It was unclear what initiated the confrontation between Transit Police Officer Larry Monte, 40, who was patrolling the station, and Ricky Dansby, 36, who resided in a Bedford Avenue homeless shelter.

The two tangled about 7:11 a.m. at the foot of a ground-floor Borough Hall station escalator leading to the No. 2 and 3 trains, transit police spokesman A1 OLeary said. Struggling to fend off his attacker, who knocked him to the ground, then punched him and kicked him in the head, neck and back, Monte squeezed off one round from his revolver, OLeary said. The shot seemed to have little effect on Dansby, who continued his attack as tbs 18-year police veteran fired twice more.

After the third round, the man said, OK, you can cuff me, OLeary recounted. Dansby, who station employees said had been inside the station for a week ly hawking small electronics equipment to commuters, was shot twice in the chest and once in the shoulder. He was cuffed to a nearby pipe, then collapsed to the floor and was pronounced dead. Barry Thomas, a 29-year-old laborer working at the station, heard the commotion and raced down to the southbound platform of the No. 2 and 3 train with fellow worker Amos White, 34.

They found Dansby barely alive and Monte about to collapse. Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the citys Medical Examiners office, said Dansby died from multiple gunshot wounds to the shoulder and chest. He was shaking, Thomas said of the police officer, adding Montes badge and name-tag had been ripped off and his hands and face were covered with scratches and bruises. Another witness said the uniformed officer "looked like he waa in shock and screamed for someone to call police as he stood next to Dansby. Thomas and White helped the officer to a bench and sat with him until other officers arrived.

The officer was later taken to Long lalaad lOoilegeHospital fohead, neck, shoulder and back iqjuries. kgr AadyiMa Transit Police investigators at the Brooklyn IRTs Borough Hall station yesterday. He Carried a Big Stick 15, 1982 IN THE SUBWAYS They just knew him as the gnmgy-inoking man with all the electronic stuff. When Dansby wae around the station, which in the past week or so waa almost constantly, he wae usually dragging this big load of gear a -Walkman, a small TV, a toaster, a coffee-, maker, a stack of csseettes or compart discs. Honestly, the- man waa a walking Radio BaA People made comments about where he got all this stuff, much of which was still in the packaging ft came in from the stose.

The mans name was Ricky Dansby. At least thats what it said on the ID card the cope pulled out of his pocket, a card that put Dansbys address as 1322 Bedford Ave. Thirteen-twenty-two Bedford sounds like a normal-enough addreas. But it happens to belong to the Atlantic Mens Shelter, which is a whole lot of things and normal is most certainly not among them. Until yesterday morning, the people at the Borough Hall subway station in Brooklyn knew nothing about Ricky Dansbys dace of residence.

They didnt even know Dansby '( ti: vir. VL-1 pn.
