I’m missing something. How can someone flee if he is free to go? If not free to go, then he is in custody already. I don’t get it.

No, you’re not missing anything. “Free to go” seems pretty cut and dry, and it is, UNLESS you’re dealing with MTA Officers, or airport security. You, as a law abiding citizen, is subject to the emotional state of mind of these officers. So each situation requires a calm analysis of which action to take.
These MTA officers were obviously stepping over the limits of authority, which is why Fussell will win this law suit.
Fussell may have believed that despite the fact that he may have been within his rights to leave, prudence required that he remain. The unreasonable officers may have “felt” that he was trying to flee.
It’s all speculation, but the scenario is plausible. After all, it’s happened in the past.

My, (very expensive), hobby is what is known as "high rail", (using MTH and Lionel O-gauge trains in realistic scale settings.) I've often photographed real railroad locations and prototype trains, locomotives, rolling stock, etc to use reference guides.
I'll be damned if I ever let some ignorant JBT interfere with my decades old pastime.

You’re lucky some O27-scale Rail Detective didn’t come out and shoot you in the toe.
