The homeless man who shoved a woman into the path of a moving Manhattan train made a chilling confession — telling cops, “I did it because I wanted to,” ..
Markeese Brazelis, 26, brazenly admitted to tossing the 23-year-old victim into an incoming A train at the 168th Street station shortly after he was arrested for the savage Monday morning attack, prosecutors said at his Manhattan Criminal Court arraignment.
...
“I did it because I wanted to,” he said.
...
this was his third arrest in the subway system in just over a week.
....
Both cases, which included charges not bail eligible, allowed Brazelis to remain free to escalate his subway deviance — culminating in the unprovoked attack
...
The maniac didn’t even exchange a word with his victim before throwing her into the train,..
“He poses a threat to strangers he encounters on the subway platforms and he engages in criminal conduct despite being completely unprovoked,” ..
...
there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest on a probation violation from a conviction in Philadelphia.
...
The victim, who suffered bruising and abrasions all over her body, recounted the attack on her Instagram, urging New Yorkers to remain vigilant while riding the subway.
...
“I was trying to get away from him, when he decided to shove me into the moving train,” the victim’s post read. “I’m glad the front of the train was past me or else I wouldn’t be alive.”
She added: “While I am hurt, it could have been worse. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY ALERT.”
The MTA’s chief security officer, Michael Kemper, said in a statement Monday that he was dumbfounded how Brazelis was allowed to remain on the street after the two recent run-ins with police before the attack.

Three hots and a cot.
Yogi says.....
He did it because there are no consequences to him.
“....allowed Brazelis to remain free....”
He doesn’t deserve that accomidation but it’s NYC (?)
He’s in desperate need of a Time Out!
Three hots and a cot.
++++++++++++++
How about one hot and a ground? Say 600 VDC... Third rail.
[[She added: “While I am hurt, it could have been worse. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY ALERT.”]]
But but but Kathy hochul says the subway has never been safer!,/s
He should get that and that’s all.
Why is that classified as chilling? That motive is common to all crimes. Why, even to non-criminal acts as well.
The perp’s the victim don’t ya know?
That’s probably not going to change any time soon in NYC.
In deep blue cities, law and order is trickle down.
Agreed. Let’s see if he enjoys riding the lightning.
And to think New York ditched the death penalty. What fools.
Police still looking for motive?
Yeah... a senior law enforcement officer is dumbfounded.
Markeese Brazelis needs to go live with Michael Kemper and his family.
Not homeless, bum. Out thisaway in CaCaLand bums are routinely offered a place to stay and eat. They refuse ‘cause they “are free spirits”. Typical CaCaLand gibberish.
The older ones were probably raised by worthless dirty hippies from the ‘60’s. Others by broken families who lacked the courage (or a MAN) to tell them “no” when required.
Once past the age of 24 they might be recoverable, but doubtful. Isolate from civilization.
just another reason that I am glad not to be a New Yorker.
Seriously - it’s actually refreshing. Because it’s the honest truth.
GASP! The gall of this psycho not giving the courtesy of a push warning!! OMG!!
If I lived in NY and had to ride the subway I would always have my hand on a sizable knife in my pocket and my back against a support column.
