New York City’s transit workers face escalating violence as two MTA
employees were brutally assaulted in separate unprovoked attacks,
exposing the dangerous consequences of failed progressive policies that
have turned public transportation into a lawless battleground.

Story Overview
Two MTA workers attacked in separate incidents within weeks, including
one recovering from brain surgery
Both suspects in July attack now arrested after initially remaining at large Attacks stemmed from fare evasion confrontations, highlighting breakdown
in law and order
Transit union demands maximum justice as worker safety crisis deepens
Violent Assaults Target Vulnerable Transit Workers
Marshalee Reid, a 51-year-old MTA employee recovering from brain
surgery, was brutally attacked by two women at the New Lots Avenue No. 3
train station on July 1 after confronting them for fare evasion. The
attackers, later identified as Ayizhae Thomas, 24, and Leschea Aldridge,
25, assaulted Reid in broad daylight while one suspect was accompanied
by a two-year-old child. This shocking incident followed another
unprovoked attack on June 15, when a 68-year-old MTA worker was
assaulted at a Boerum Hill subway station.


Law Enforcement Response and Arrests
Police arrested both suspects in the July 1 attack after initially
remaining at large. Thomas was apprehended on July 15, followed by
Aldridge on July 23. Both face multiple serious charges including
assault, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon. Reid was treated
for minor injuries and released in stable condition, though the
psychological trauma of being attacked while performing her duties
remains. The investigation into the June 15 attack continues with no
arrests announced.

Transit System Under Siege
These attacks represent a broader pattern of lawlessness plaguing New
York’s subway system, where fare evasion has become commonplace and confrontations with authority figures escalate into violence. MTA
workers, already operating under difficult conditions, now face the
additional burden of being targets for criminals who refuse to follow
basic rules. The incidents occurred during daytime hours at
well-trafficked stations, demonstrating that even public visibility
provides no protection for transit employees doing their jobs.

Union Demands Justice and Protection
NYC Transit Senior Vice President Demetrius Crichlow called for “maximum justice” against the attackers, while the Transport Workers Union
highlighted the vulnerability of employees, particularly those
recovering from medical procedures like Reid. The union has documented
multiple similar incidents and continues pushing for stronger legal consequences for assailants and enhanced worker protections. These
demands reflect growing frustration with a system that appears to
prioritize criminal rights over law-abiding workers’ safety and security.

The attacks underscore the urgent need for decisive action to restore
order in public transportation and protect the hardworking Americans who
keep the system functioning despite increasingly dangerous conditions
created by years of soft-on-crime policies.
