China News Service, September 8th. According to the US "World Journal" report, a recent assault occurred at the Union Square Station on 14th Street in Manhattan, New York. An emotionally out of control man beat a 60-year-old deaf person on the platform for no reason. Dumb Chinese women caused them to fall off the rails.
The man, Vladimir Pierre, was arrested shortly after the incident. When he was in court on the evening of the 6th, the judge ordered him to be detained indefinitely, awaiting the results of the psychiatric evaluation.
Pierre is currently charged with attempted second-degree assault, third-degree assault, and second-degree reckless endangerment.
According to the prosecutor, at about 9:49 am on the 5th, on the platforms 4, 5, and 6 of Union Square, he punched a 59-year-old Chinese deaf-mute woman, Ms. Zhou, for no reason, causing her to lose her balance and fall into the subway track. .
Pierre was arrested for attacking and threatening another woman a few days ago, but was released a day later.
City police records show that Pierre’s previous arrests were 27 times, and another ten records showed that he was an “emotionally disturbed person” (emotionally disturbed person).
After the Manhattan District Attorney's Office requested that Pierre be detained for US$25,000 in cash or US$75,000 in bonds, Judge Melissa Jackson ordered him to be detained indefinitely, pending the results of a psychiatric evaluation.
"It's about whether he can continue the normal trial procedures of the case. There are some problems with his mental ability." Jackson said in court.
Throughout the hearing, the suspect kept groaning and was unable to speak normally. When his legal aid lawyer testified for him, he could not keep standing still.
The prosecutor said he now faces two other cases.
In one case, he was accused of choking a female victim by the throat in April of this year, leaving it in a state of suffocation for a long time; in December last year, he also "performed a similar attack" on a subway passenger.
Kayla Sullivan, the Assistant Attorney for the Manhattan District, said that this is not an isolated case. The suspect has continuously used similar attack methods to create chaos in the MRT system for no reason, and he has also failed to show up during the subpoenas many times. More and more cases overlapped on it.
In an interview with the media on the 7th, Dermot Shea, the director of the City Police Department, also expressed anger at the "revolving door" new bail law. "We can't let this type of repeated offenders be called the judicial system's" The new normal'".
Pierre's next court date is set for the 10th.
