“Michael McCloskey will serve a significant prison sentence for stabbing a man commuting during the early morning hours,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Although physically healed, the victim is still reeling from the effects of this attack. I thank the Port Authority Police Department for their fast response, which likely saved this New Yorker’s life.”  

“As alleged, Robert Ray punched an MTA employee in an unprovoked attack, causing her to fall to the ground,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Millions of New Yorkers rely on the hard work of our dedicated MTA employees every day, and we will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to ensure our transit system is safe. I hope the victim continues to heal from this assault.”

“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.”
