    Not a single guy at the train station to defend an innocent woman from an aggressor? Yeah, I know of Daniel Penny’s persecutional prosecution, but no one is taking about chocking the guy out. How come no one ripped his weapon (cane) out and accidentally hit his knee cap, then catched the next train, while the woman victim was waiting 20 minutes for the police to come, holding the cane next to the assailant lying on the floor? Not your business? It could be your mother, sister, wife or daughter. Every Jew is supposed to be every other Jew’s business.

    Age 55-65 is considered “elderly”?

    If the police have sufficient grounds to arrest & charge him with a felony, then I suggest getting several wanted posters with his picture & a description of the time & place of the crime, be posted in the area. Most likely there will be people who know him & will come forward (especially with a small [like $1,000] reward).

    Many ideologies he could stem from.
    The idea the elderly hold these violent ideations are shocking.
    That he chose a woman to beat up says a lot
    A particular group tends to beat on the old and the female and the children.

    Look at this. We have a Nazi living right under our nose somewhere in our neighborhood. If and when they find this POS, find out what his name was prior to being changed.

    Hochul foisted upon us congestion pricing thievery, in order to pressure us to take public transit. Our subway system is NOT safe. It is dangerous for an elderly Frum Yid to take the trains. Hochul claimed all the money they rip-off from the congestion pricing scam was going to go into improving our subway system and make it safe. Lies lies and more damn lies.

    Most likely a Slav, but can be Turkic/Balkan type. He’ll be arrested soon enough. With such a clear photo and a cane, he’ll be reported/recognized in good time.

    Unfortunately, most of yidden in Brooklyn would be too timid to come to her help. Not saying all, though.

    Big deal. Maybe he is in the early stages of dementia and has outburst issues.
