Man Charged With Attempted Murder For Stabbing Subway Conductor: DA

BROOKLYN, NY — A Bronx man named Jonathan Davalos has been arraigned on an indictment that accuses him of attempted murder for stabbing an MTA subway operator in Brooklyn, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.

On Oct. 8, Subway operator Myran Pollock was stabbed in the leg and torso 11 times at the Crown Heights-Utica Avenue subway station, New York Police Department officials said.

The attack took place around 10:49 a.m. after Pollock told everyone to get off the train at the last stop, police said. Pollock was taken to Kings County Hospital in serious condition.

Davalos received a 13-count indictment on Monday that charged him with second-degree attempted murder, first- and second-degree assault, and other related charges, Gonzalez said.

According to the New York Daily News, Davalos just got out of prison in February, where he was doing time for assaulting a Brooklyn subway conductor in 2020.

“This defendant is accused of viciously attacking and seriously injuring a hardworking train conductor who was simply doing his job," Gonzalez said. "We will aggressively pursue full accountability for this violent assault."

Gonzalez said that the defendant is being held without bail and was ordered to return to court on Jan. 10.
