Frank Abrokwa, accused of attacking a woman with human feces inside a Bronx subway station, was released without bail only to be rearrested in connection with an anti-Semitic assault.
The case of 62-year-old Guiying Ma, killed after she was randomly attacked with a rock, is now being reinvestigated as a possible hate crime. CeFaan Kim has the details.
Abrokwa -- who police say has 44 prior arrests, one felony conviction and 10 misdemeanor convictions -- was taken into custody at homeless shelter on Bronx Boulevard.They tried to convince the judge that he should be held on $5,000 bail, despite the incident being charged as a misdemeanor that is not bail eligible.
The judge released him without bail, but Abrokwa was immediately turned over to the Brooklyn detectives. He is now charged with harassment and menacing, both as hate crimes, for allegedly approaching a 46-year-old man on Utica Avenue, making anti-Jewish statements and spitting on the victim before fleeing.
Authorities say Abrokwa has a history of transit related attacks. On January 7, he allegedly punched a 30-year-man on the subway platform at the 125th Street station at Lenox Avenue in Harlem.RELATED |
