A Manhattan investment banker punched a female train worker twice in the face last week, police told the New York Post — and while the allegedly intoxicated suspect was charged with assault, harassment, and menacing, the paper said he was released without bail.
What are the details?
Jean-Francois Coste (53), was in Brooklyn at Stillwell Avenue station around 12:15 on Friday when he allegedly punched Tanya McCray, MTA worker, according to police.
A spokesman for Local 100 of the Transport Workers Union noted to the paper that McCray had just left the “crew room” when she spotted Coste trying to get into a restricted area.
The Post reported that McCray was twice punched by Coste after she refused to let him in the employees-only area.
