"Negron was arrested around 12:45 p.m. after an eagle-eyed cop recognized him as he walked into the 14th-Street Union Square subway station. Negron was charged with attempted assault for allegedly walking up to a man on the southbound R train platform at 36th Street in Sunset Park around 4:55 a.m. Sunday, and knocking him to the ground in an unprovoked attack, according to authorities and sources."
"The homeless attacker then bolted from the scene - cops later released photos of him in the turnstile area sporting dark, curly hair and a short beard, and wearing a black and gray jacket with khakis. Luckily, no trains appeared to be arriving at the time the 35-year-old victim was shoved. He was helped back onto the platform by responding officers and taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn in stable condition."
"Negron has five prior arrests, most recently on Dec. 2 for criminal possession of a controlled substance, sources said. He was also nabbed the same day in connection to a September grand larceny case, where he allegedly swiped a bag worth over $1,000 belonging to a 26-year-old woman. Sunday's random subway shove was the second such attack of the year. On New Year's Day, an apparently intoxicated Russian medical student allegedly shoved a 72-year-old man into a moving Bronx train around 3:30 a.m."
