Cops Arrest Brutal BK Subway Shover Who Slammed Woman Into Train

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — The subway bandit who caused hundreds of delays pulling emergency brakes early this year has been arrested again, this time for shoving a woman at Dekalb Avenue in a video that went viral online.

NYPD Chief Dermot Shea said Thursday evening that cops had found and charged Isaiah Thompson for shoving a woman at the Brooklyn station the night before.

Thompson had been caught on video, which went viral online, pushing a woman around 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, and sending her flying head-first into an idling subway car on the track.

Cops soon confirmed that the man in the video was Thompson, who was out on bail after getting arrested in May for pulling subway brakes and causing hundreds of delays.

Thompson has been arrested 17 times for crimes involving the transit system, according to The New York Times.

Transit officials called for him to be banned from the subway after the most recent incident.

"Enough is enough," MTA President Andy Byford said. "This individual is a criminal and it's unacceptable that he be allowed to continue to create mayhem on the subways, mayhem he admits is deliberate, that puts riders' and MTA employees' lives at risk. He should be banned from the system – period."

Thompson was charged in July for riding on the outside of a northbound 5 train and had been cuffed back in May for pulling the emergency brake on an uptown 2 train during an evening rush hour, stranding commuters and disrupting subway service.

Transit officials had been searching for a saboteur who had been intentionally stopping trains around the city.
