“This defendant is accused of viciously attacking and seriously injuring a hardworking train operator who was simply doing his job," said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez in a statement. "My office requested that he be held without bail, and we will aggressively pursue full accountability for this violent assault. Keeping straphangers and transit workers safe is essential to the functioning of our city and a top priority for my office.
