Once again, an unthinkable incident occurred in the NYC Subway. This time, a man decided to smear human feces on a woman’s face, while the woman was waiting on the subway platform.
Frank Abrokwa (37), approached a 43-year-old woman who was sitting on a bench on the southbound platform of the Wakefield–241st Street subway station in The Bronx around 5:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 21, cops said.
Suddenly, without saying a word, he hit the unsuspecting woman in the face and the back of her head with human feces before fleeing, footage released by police showed. It’s not clear whether the feces was his.
Abrokwa was arrested on Monday and charged with forcible touching, menacing, disorderly conduct and harassment.
Mayor Eric Adams called the incident a “horrific experience for anyone to go through” at an unrelated press conference Monday afternoon.
“Human waste or someone spitting in your face, those are real signs of mental health issues … and we really must dig into how we’re dealing with these mental health issues,” the mayor said.
The nauseating incident comes amid a frightening uptick in Big Apple subway crime.
In response to the violence, Adams announced his Subway Safety Plan on Feb. 18, pledging to crack down on rule-breaking and preventing people from living on the trains and in the stations.
Adams said teams of outreach workers and city cops began last week canvassing the subways to identify mentally ill and homeless people who need to be removed and will work to get them the treatment and housing they need.
They need to catch him and force feed him feces until he chokes
OH Yeah Mike ! If only ! They won’t though . We need to ” Give it Right Back ” and then some !
But instead they will give him no jail time and say he was distraught over systemic racism….
Okay, I realize that reality is “racist” but am I the only person who’s noted that these violent and unprovoked attacks – on the streets, in the subways, in stores, all seem to have been committed by Blacks? And, if not “all”, then at least a very substantial portion of them are (well in excess of the 13% which would reflect the Black percentage of the population). Notably, the same is true of the incidents of “anti-Asian violence”, which the media seems determined to blame on the “dominant (i.e., “White”) culture”, yet which, rather disproportionately, involves attacks by Blacks on Asians (with Hispanics making up most of the rest). And the FBI statistics support the impression – Black on White violence hugely exceeds White on Black violence (yet, despite that disproportion in criminality, it is also the
case that the police are more likely to shoot you if you are White). Perhaps, the next time the hew and cry about police mistreatment of Blacks is raised, we might consider contextualizing the issue. Is the problem of “driving while Black” the result of racism or of experience? If an identifiable group commits the majority of offenses, is it not understandable that persons sharing that identity might garner unwanted and unwarranted concern. The Black community has some legitimate gripes, but they also need to come to grips with the issue of Black crime.
No, the vast majority of people know who are perpetrating these crimes. One side decides to have nothing to do with such a violent group, while the other side knows they are violent and continues to make nothing but excuses for them.
Well said !
Mayor Adams does what he always does – claim the incident is awful and that NYC will get back control of the subway system. And then does nothing. Keep voting in these useless politicians and continue to get useless results.
Why don’t they ever get charged with Federal Hate crimes?
hate crime, this is not a man, he’s an animal. chain him up in the sewer system, and let him die there.
