“Our transit system is the heart of our city, and safety underground is paramount. While transit crime continues to trend downward in Manhattan, there is still more work to be done. We will utilize all the tools at our disposal to keep straphangers and transit workers safe, and I wish the victim a speedy recovery,” said District Attorney Bragg.    

“As alleged, Tyrone Massey approached a stranger in Penn Station and slashed him without provocation,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Violence has no place in our bustling transit system, and we will continue to collaborate with our law enforcement partners to hold violent offenders accountable. I hope the victim continues to heal from this terrifying attack.” 

“Nobody should have to experience this type of alleged vicious attack on the transit system,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I hope the victim will continue to recover from his injuries and urge anyone who witnessed this assault to please call 212-335-9040.”

“As alleged, Abdul Little viciously stabbed a train passenger on a train pulling into Manhattan’s landmark train station,” said District Attorney Bragg. “New Yorkers and commuters deserve to be safe while navigating our railroads and subways, and we will seek full accountability for anyone who commits these horrific acts of violence. I wish the victim a speedy and full recovery.”

“Today’s sentence makes clear that we will hold accountable those who cause harm in our subway system,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We will remain focused on those who harm straphangers just trying to commute to home or to work.”
