“A jury held Christian Jeffers accountable for this intentional assault in our subway system. This conviction sends a strong message that we will thoroughly investigate and prosecute those who target other New Yorkers with this type of violence,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank our prosecutors for their work achieving this outcome and to the victims who testified and bravely shared their stories in court.”

 “Kamal Semrade now stands indicted on Attempted Murder for an alleged unprovoked attack on a straphanger,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My thoughts are with the victim, whose life is forever changed, and her loved ones. Anyone who seeks to cause harm in our subway system will be held accountable.”

“Billy Hernandez committed a series of violent crimes, including a slashing that left his ex-girlfriend with extensive scarring and horrified rush hour commuters in one of our city’s busiest transit hubs,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Today, he was held accountable for this disturbing act of targeted violence, and our thoughts are with the victim as she recovers.”

“These attacks took place near one of our city’s busiest transit hubs that millions of New Yorkers and our neighbors rely on every day,” said District Attorney Bragg. “New Yorkers deserve to walk our streets and travel through Manhattan without fear of being attacked. My thoughts are with the victims as they continue to heal.”

“Stanley Lafleur allegedly assaulted an unarmed MTA dispatcher who was merely doing his job,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We owe a lot to the hardworking members of the MTA for keeping our city moving and they deserve a safe working environment. We will continue to use all the tools at our disposal to keep our transit system safe.”
