Subway Menace Accused Of Shoving Woman Into Train, Several Other Crimes Arrested
Subway Menace Accused Of Shoving Woman Into Train, Several Other Crimes Arrested
October 24, 2019 at 9:00 pm
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – An alleged subway menace is now in custody after another violent attack in a Brooklyn subway station Wednesday night.
Cops say disturbing video shows him shove an innocent bystander head-first into a subway car.
He was seen lunging at two men before attacking the woman who goes face-first against a sitting train at the Dekalb Avenue station.
It happened around 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The person who took the video told CBS2 the victim left without getting any help and the suspect – believed to be Isaiah Thompson – fled into the subway tunnel.
Authorities now tell CBS2 Thompson has been arrested and charged with menacing and assault for that attack.
The 23-year-old is no stranger to the law. He’s been arrested at least 18 times since 2017, including last May for exposing himself on a C-train at West 14th Street, and allegedly pulling a train’s emergency brake causing massive delays system-wide.

In that time, surveillance video also showed Thompson recklessly riding outside on the back of a 2-train.
