This is no man; this is a monster. So what will be the justification for this? He's a victim of his environment? Shove it.

was the victim a young white boy?..

Perhaps the assailant is just a misunderstood rising rap star who was turning his life around.

Back when my father was a policeman within 40 mi of NYC, I'm told they would take care of perps like this in their own ways. This guy would get a massive beating from someone much larger than himself, and more often than not, the lesson is learned. Everyone moves on.

It was a source of pride that they would go after the worst of the worst, and would let the light offenses slide, or even help out (letting a drunk sleep it off in a cell, without getting charged, etc). Those days are long gone. Now the cops prefer to go after the little fish, and not bother with the ones who actually make our neighborhoods unpleasant.

So now the “Knock-Out” game players are targeting 5 year-olds?

This punk needs a serious can of whoop-@ss opened on him.

Re: “It’s unclear what provoked the attack.“

I’m sorry - there is no legitimate provocation for an adult to sucker punch a 5 year old child. This guy, I hope, has mental issues. Either way he needs to be put away.

Thomas was described as being 6 feet tall, 180 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

Am I missing something?

“It’s unclear what provoked the attack.”

Right, because a five-year old could possibly provoke such an attack. Maybe another robbery-gone-wrong.

[Midwesterner53]

“what provoked the attack” BS, nothing can provoke an attack by a grown male human on a child. Typical lunacy that passes for journalism these days.

[Midwesterner53]

Concealed carry would have made sure it never happened again but hey, NYC has tough gun laws. And were there no other men on that train car that could have stepped in? All cowards.

[Hot Tabasco]

Your link did not show a child being attacked but rather another adult..........

Where’s Bernie Goetz when you need him?

There is no justification for this. The man is mentally ill and needs to be locked away from society.

I support putting him in a mental asylum in restraints so he doesn't hurt himself or others. Do NOT toss him into prison -- he will then just be influenced by thejihadi types there and become more dangerous when he comes out (remember even the worst case he'd be in for a few years, and will be on the streets again).

This should be deemed as mental ill, put in restraints, isolation and locked up away from society until it is proven beyond doubt that he is not a threat to anyone. Then he should be put in a outfactory to work out under supervision until he has paid for his incarceration.

Once he's paid it, let him out
