Vagrant charged with severely slashing MTA worker was on parole, has eerily similar transit attack on his rap sheet

Jonathan Davalos, charged with attempted murder of a subway worker, was on parole for a prior similar assault, raising concerns about public safety and leniency in the justice system.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez emphasized the importance of safety for straphangers and transit workers, stating, 'My thoughts are with Mr. Pollack and his family as he recovers from this senseless act of violence.'

Davalos had a long history of violence, including a previous knifing of an MTA worker, leading to questions on why he was allowed to be out on parole.

The victim, MTA worker Myran Pollack, was looking forward to retirement before being brutally attacked, highlighting the dangerous conditions faced by transit workers.
