A Westchester man who pushed a woman onto the subway tracks during the throes of a psychiatric crisis said he was haunted by guilt Monday after the victim told him the psychological trauma stemming from the attack far outlasted her physical injuries.
“Samuel Junker has been held accountable for shoving an innocent woman – a wife and mother – onto the tracks of a Lower Manhattan subway station in a brutal, unprovoked attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We will continue to treat acts of violence committed throughout our subway system with the seriousness they deserve, and I thank our prosecutors for their hard work.”
“Patrick Robles violently attempted to rape a young woman on the subway as she did everything she could to escape the attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the survivor for her bravery throughout this prosecution and during today’s sentencing.”
