Today's sentence holds the defendant accountable for a vicious and unprovoked attack of a stranger riding the subway. The fact that the victim was simply acting as a Good Samaritan makes the defendant's behavior in this case especially appalling. We will never tolerate violence in the subway system.
The defendant was fighting another man on a southbound C train in Brooklyn. When the victim tried to intervene, the defendant turned his attention to him, pulled out a sharp object, and slashed the victim in the face.
