Monday evening, the suspect was waiting to be arraigned in Queens Criminal Court, CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported.
According to police, around 11 p.m. Thursday, Blount allegedly followed 57-year-old Nina Rothschild down the stairs at the Queens Plaza station, kicked her and pulled out a hammer, hitting her over the head repeatedly before running off with her purse."She's mentally strong but not as physically strong as I had imagined she would be," Gerson Rothschild said.

Richards said the NYPD has put more officers at the Queens Plaza station for now. He's holding a meeting next month on transit safety.Blount has six prior arrests, according to police, but he was last paroled in 2000. NYPD sources said Blount was arrested Sunday after a tipster recognized him near his homeless shelter on William Street in Manhattan.
