The man charged with trying to shove an Asian undercover cop onto Queens subway tracks was cut loose without bail Sunday — as the judge claimed, “My hands are tied.”
Suspect Ricardo Hernandez, 32 — who faces three hate-crime charges in the attack on the unnamed cop on a Long Island City train platform around 5:30 p.m. Saturday — has at least 12 prior arrests under his belt.
At Hernandez’s arraignment over the attempted push onto the tracks, Queens Supreme Court Justice Louis Nock said the state’s bail-reform measures barred him from holding Hernandez in jail.“My hands are tied because under the new bail rules, I have absolutely no authority or power to set bail on this defendant for this alleged offense,” the judge said.
Under the new measures passed last year, attacks that cause no injury are exempt from bail in New York.
The judge also agreed with Hernandez’s lawyer to dismiss a warrant against the suspect involving a previous open-container summons. The suspect had had a can of Coors Light beer.
A police source said Hernandez was previously arrested for possession of a controlled substance in 2019 and turnstile jumping in 2016 and 2017 and has nine other sealed arrests on his record.

No bail for attempted murder???
Super weird. Could you imagine if the roles were reversed?
> Ricardo Hernandez
Taking the jobs white supremacists won’t do.
Criminals, New York is your Mecca!
That is a crime all by itself.................calling Coors Light a 'beer'..................
Where is the Edward Woodward, Equalizer when you need him.
And some of the alleged “insurrectionist” from the 1/6/2021 Capitol protest are rotting in jail. The biggest thing I see rotting in this Republic is the Federal, State and Local Governments.
Or Edward Woodward, Breaker Morant, enforcing Rule 303.
Oh I did love that guy. Two of the most shocking deaths in movies of our times. Breaker Morant and Wicker Man.
Frikken woos !
Pa supers totally cancelled our own state Constitution and got away with it
Why is this even newsworthy? It’s NYC.
Attempted murder, but since there was no injury the perp goes free? What a great state!
Surprise! Once again a democrat government district attorney protects a member of the democrat party’s paramilitary army called antifa.
democrat party government is the enemy, folks.
No bail for attempted murder???

Why not. There were no charges, not even a public inquiry, into the killing of Ashli Babbitt.
Why? Did the filthy leftists threaten to kill the judge? We're a banana republic now.
They wanted it to be a Whitey. I’m betting the media omits the race of the assailant so we will think it’s a Whitey.
Where is the Edward Woodward, Equalizer when you need him.
He had a sex change. He’s Queen Latifa now.
My wish is that this creep, after being turned loose for an attempted murder will see his freedom as a license to kill.
Hopefully he goes on a spree in Liberal NYC taking the lives of 25-50 of the morons with perhaps a significant smattering of elected officials being among them.

Ewww. One can of beer caused him to attack a man?
