Thank god she did not fight back and go to jail

They basically empowered 'those people' to assualt people on the subways by punishing a hero 👏

[Ghost-tcgj]

Well this just proves that you can assault a transit worker and literally get away with it if you just say you know the person.

The Asinine thing is if she would've defended herself she would've been the one Arrested. Backward Ass Laws. 😡😡😡😡😡

It sucks for her that there was not a brave US Marine nowhere around to put the man on a chokehold. It also sucks that nobody on the train did anything about it because they're afraid they would end up with charges. Thank Adams and Hochul for this shitshow.

That's horrible. So sorry that happened to her. I thought assaulting an MTA worker was a crime punishable up to 7 years 🤔🤨. I thought a MAN assaulting a WOMAN was also a crime🤔🤨. What happened to cleaning up crime on the subway? Wasn't that a HUGE part of the campaign 🤔. Ohhh wait, isn't this the part when they go on TV to tell us that the crime stats are down in NY🙄.

"He knows what I look like"
Well he most certainly does now

What’s more sad is now NOBODY wants to go jail because of trying to help her I help her if I’m in jail because I beat the guy up now my family can’t pay our bills ?or the senior citizen who shot the guy who was attacking him ?we have to be our own police because the police are scared to do anything

[harvey]

no more good samaritans because if they fought back they will be prosecuted

[curtflirt]

Thank goodness that 62 year old had his weapon to save himself from really getting hurt

[debralavorata]

And mind you, this is with signs saying seven years if you assault a transit worker. I thought there were cameras supposed to be installed in each car, supposedly during the winter

Unfortunately we will now see this as a trend.I'm so sorry this song had to go through this frightening moment and much more could have happened. Nobody helped her because they were afraid they too would go to jail and get some kind of charge. .I don't blame her for not wanting to go back, she definitely needs some serious time off that' is absolutely frightening and really sad that the cops didn't even care to do anything about it. Got help us all!

[omt]

Ok the cops let this psycho go. Wow. Honestly it sounds like the cops are fed up with the way this city is going. It’s sad. Attack anyone and you get off Scott free. This city is garbage

The mayor and his little team of nypd suck. But nothing is new with the nypd these days. They aren’t on the trains and if they are you just see them walking and talking .. other day I saw an aggressive person on the station and police were there and they didn’t do nothing. They just love their job because they have some sense of authority and superiority over us nyc citizens. They have to step up and mayor stop sugarcoating things.

[MaryJane.]

Criminals don’t get charged in New York they are victims. That is what people voted for. Glad she is ok though.

[cheri]

Where's a good marine when ya need one?

[JPAGH]

Why some of them do wear COVID masks?
That woman with a mask lowered on her chin looks ridiculous.

[Triple]

Where is black lives matter and the damn outrage and swagger mayor Adams at to speak up damn jokes!!!!

[djxcel]

She should have Never did a interview. She should be in the hospital playing it off.. She could get a nice 2 year vacation with pay.
