Markeese Brazelis, a 26-year-old homeless man, confessed to pushing a woman into the path of a train in Manhattan, stating he did it because he was high and mad. This incident marked his third arrest in the subway system within a week, prompting prosecutors to argue for bail due to his danger to the public. The court decided against setting bail, citing an existing warrant related to a probation violation. Brazelis’ attorney highlighted his long-term homelessness and mental health issues, contributing to his erratic behavior.
"I pushed her into the train because I was high and I was mad. I did it because I wanted to."
"He poses a threat to strangers he encounters on the subway platforms and he engages in criminal conduct despite being completely unprovoked."
