On Friday, the MTA announced its intension to ban Alexander Wright, who is currently charges of felony assault and harassment for the Aug. 11 attack at the Pelham Bay Park 6 station in the Bronx. The transit workers' union, TWU Local 100, said that Anthony Nelson was attacked around 9:30 a.m. outside the station. After being told that a man was harassing people outside the station, Nelson went to get a look of the individual in order to provide a description to authorities, according to the union.
When he turned to go back inside the station, Nelson was attacked, suffering a broken nose and collarbone, the union said. But despite his injuries, Nelson and a good Samaritan held the suspect down long enough for police to arrive.
