A 27-year-old man was indicted in the stabbing of another man at an East Village subway station in September, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Wednesday.
Yesterday, Manhattan D.A. Alvin L. Bragg Jr. announced the indictment of Raymond Kwok, 27, for stabbing a 29-year-old man this past Sept. 20. Kwok is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with one count of Assault in the Second Degree and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree.
“Raymond Kwok allegedly stabbed a subway rider in a brutal attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “New Yorkers relying on public transportation deserve to be safe and violence in our transit system, especially with dangerous weapons, will not be tolerated. I wish the victim a full and speedy recovery.”
A woman was indicted on several counts, including second and third-degree assault as a hate crime, for pepper spraying a 45-year-old Uber driver in an unprovoked attack in New York City earlier this year, prosecutors said.
“While this case contains the elements of coercion and control that we see in all of our trafficking prosecutions, the allegations here are especially, disturbingly violent,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The swift and effective coordination between the NYPD’s 30th Precinct, the NYPD’s Human Trafficking Squad, and my office’s dedicated prosecutors and investigators led to the arrest of this alleged trafficker. This indictment speaks to the power of our collaboration, and I am thankful for their commitment to this work.”
