“Today, Michael McCloskey was held accountable for stabbing a man in an unprovoked attack at a public, densely populated transit hotspot,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Although the victim has thankfully recovered, he must live with the physical scars this attack has caused. We will continue to treat harmful conduct against commuters with the seriousness it deserves, and I thank our prosecutors for securing this strong outcome in court.”  

“Anthonia Egegbara will serve a significant state prison term for viciously shoving a woman, who was on her morning commute, into a train as it entered the station,” said District Attorney Bragg. “The assault left the victim with stiffness and pain from her injuries to this day. I hope the resolution in this case can offer the victim a sense of justice.”

“As alleged, Amad Edwards viciously stabbed a stranger on a subway platform in the early morning hours,” said District Attorney Bragg. “In Manhattan, we will continue to hold people accountable who commit harmful and illegal conduct in our stations and on our subways. I wish the victim a speedy recovery.”  

“Today Anthonia Egegbara was held accountable for pushing a stranger into an oncoming train during morning rush hour in a completely unprovoked attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Due to this brutal conduct, the victim suffered serious physical injuries, which were thankfully non-fatal. Our transit system should be a safe environment for all Manhattanites, and we will continue prosecuting those who jeopardize the safety of its commuters, riders and workers.”  

“As alleged, Diego Figureoa-Hepner committed a senseless, vicious act when he stabbed and took the life of Johnny Medina, a vibrant, positive and creative person, inside a Manhattan subway station,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our transit system is a cornerstone of our city and we will continue holding people accountable who exploit it as a place to bring weapons and commit violent conduct. Mr. Medina was part of an incredible, tight-knit community and my thoughts remain with his family and loved ones as they continue mourning his loss.”
