A man charged for sucker punching an Asian woman in New York City’s Chinatown last year is back behind bars after allegedly attacking an MTA worker last week.
Alexander Wright, 49, is accused of beating subway cleaner Anthony Nelson at the Pelham Bay Park Station on the No. 6 line at around 8:40 a.m. last Thursday. Reports say Nelson confronted Wright, who had been harassing other customers.
Nelson, 35, wound up in the hospital with a dislocated nose and broken collarbone. He underwent surgery on Monday and has remained hospitalized as of Tuesday.
“This man Alexander Wright should not be walking the streets,” said Nelson’s mother, Lisa, according to the New York Post. “I hope these politicians and these judges give him the max that he deserves and do not let him walk free.”
Wright, a known transient, was taken into custody shortly after the incident. Police sources said this is his 42nd arrest, as per Eyewitness News.
His last arrest occurred in June 2021 after he allegedly assaulted a 55-year-old Asian woman in Chinatown. Surveillance video shows the moment a man sucker punches the victim without provocation, knocking her out instantly.

I’m not sure ... but it might still be a crime to punch a government worker. The rest of that stuff ... it’s just people getting hurt. No one cares about that.
At a certain point, these people have no contribution to society, so sad but true, it’s best just to take them down.
Used to go to NYC once or twice a year.
Haven’t been there for at least 10 and plan on never going there again.
Keep electing those Democrats.
DeBlasio was bad enough…and then came Adams.

Wood chipper, feet first.

That would probably do the job.
